What Is Cantonese Food? - Eat China (S1E2)
Think about your typical Chinese restaurant in the United States. What’s on the menu? It’s likely wonton, chop suey, and lo mein. These dishes all come from one part of China: the Cantonese region.
But even Cantonese food is more diverse than what you might find in the States. Seafood, roast meat, and dim sum are staples of the cuisine, and chefs pride themselves on subtly bringing out the natural flavors of ingredients-without too much spice or sauce.
This is our primer on the food of Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. It’s also the second episode of our 13-part series on Chinese food called Eat China. In the next episode, we’ll go on a food tour in Hong Kong and hit up three restaurants you have to try.

Im from hawaii, most chinese food here is from cantonese and hong kong immigrants, when i moved to the states alot of the chinese food here is differenr and i cant find the type of chinese foods i grew up eating, like Gau gee, Noodle cake, Saimin, Steamed fermented rice cake 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I come from the mid west region of China. The food here is heavily influenced by Iran and other Arabic countries. We have kebabs, pita bread, lamb soup, thick noodles and many other delicacies. I appreciate other cuisines in China, but I prefer mine cuz I am used to it.

this is a série about all different food in china
Poorly researched.
Sorry. Just want to let you know, we are not part of China. Our Cantonese’s history is more longer than China. We are totally different from our DNA and culture. Please ask your grandparents more about our history.

What the hell is this nonsense. The area of Guangdong has been a part of China since the Han. Without China there would be no Cantonese ie Guangdong culture as you know it today. How can you say Cantonese culture is older than Chinese? Before Han imperialists Canton was part of the Hundred Bai tribes. Basically a loose non-affiliated collection of people with a low level of civilization.

@@nosugar9170 "China" refers to 中國, which has been referenced for about 3000 years since the Western Zhou dynasty. The borders have changed over the years, but it has continuously been referenced as the homeland for the 華夏 people. It might have been referenced even earlier, but the earliest archaeological evidence we have is from Western Zhou. Cantonese are 華夏 and thus are part of 中國. You can hate the CCP, I really don't care about that. But you can't make up stories and say Cantonese and general Han culture has nothing to do with China. That's like Taiwanese that say they are Japanese. It makes no sense and you just look foolish.

@@dlk3904 Do you really know what is 華夏？華夏is mean who wearing beautiful clothes. Please don’t learn the history from the CCP . You just need to know a truth about China (PRC) . China is control by the CCP. And China just has 74yrs history . Why you don’t talk about 元朝 ? Are we all Mongolians? The CCP can change the book about history but they can’t change the truth.
