Canton V

The lush southern region of Guangzhou, also know as Canton, is famous for it’s bountiful crops. The subtropical climate promotes the growth of a colorful array of vegetables and tropical fruits, from lychee nuts to citrus. Given the abundant coastline and waterways, seafood is widely used. Duck and chicken are also key ingredients in dishes that highlight the Cantonese signature simplicity. Characterized by the use of very mild and simple spices, this cuisine derives its classic flavors from ginger, scallions, sugar, soy sauce and rice wine. Steaming and stir-frying are the principle cooking techniques.

"I was born in Canton and raised on Cantonese dishes. To me, most of the dishes I was brought up seem delicious comfort foods. The cuisine of Canton is varied, exciting, healthy and most satisfying. Freshness is emphasized... not only fresh produce but also fresh seafood. It is still my favorite cuisine."
