Bring the flavors of Cantonese Chinese food to your table with authentic, delicious, and easy-to-prepare recipes!
Among all the Chinese cuisines, Cantonese cuisine features the simplest of Chinese cuisines that highlight the flavor of its main ingredients, may it be vegetables, meat, fish, seafood, poultry, or fruits. It’s also not too spicy and often sweet! The history of Cantonese can be traced back to 2000 years ago, as early as the Han Dynasty. It was brought to America by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century.
In Cantonese cooking, there is lesser use of chilies and spices and more reliance on special condiments and sauces like oyster sauce, black bean sauce, and sweet and sour sauce. Most popular Chinese restaurants are likely focused on Cantonese cuisine. Dim Sum dishes, Chow Mein and Lo Mein noodles, Wonton soup, and Chow Fun are all Cantonese dishes.
