Cantonese food is one of my favorites. Cantonese really cooks amazing seafood dishes where you can actually taste the freshness of the ingredients. Contrast that to other places where the spiciness can overpower the ingredient. I see this in East coast vs west coast foods in the US sometimes when the West is so focused on the ingredient and the East is all about working the ingredient. Both still taste great, but I think the perspective on the ingredient is key.

My brother is a spice lover and he raised me to be too, even though I'm not that tolerable. It all started when he dragged me to a sichuan style restaurant a couple of times, often ordering immensly spicy stuff. Half of the time he ate half of my Kung Pao (or however you spell it, but it was the real stuff) so I was stuck eating his super hot stuff to get full. It for sure raised my tolerance level. Now I've grown into a sucker for Mapo Tofu, which is on the top of my favourite comfort dishes. And I always have some sichuan pepper at home if I need some tingly, tongue numbing spice.. :)

Cantonese cuisine is amazing! If all you are getting is veggies, then you are not ordering it right. Also, Cantonese dishes NEED rice! It's not about drowning your rice in sauce, it's about having just enough to flavour your rice but also being able to taste the delicious fragrant rice.

(In my humble opinion) traditional Cantonese cuisine is about capturing the freshness/natural/original flavor in the ingredients for a dish.

The best stir fry wok dishes adds a subtle 'smoky' grilled flavor because of the high heat used. Sadly, not many Chinese chefs can pull this off and most just taste 'sauteed'.

Thanks Mike! Enjoy your videos. I’m pre-diabetic and I have heard that one famous Chinese chef, who cooks Japanese dishes, adds something to the short grain rice consumed in Japan to lower the glycemic index of the rice. Have been trying to find this out for years. Maybe you know what that mysterious ingredient might be? Cheers!

@Triumvirate888 8 лет назад

This is so funny that it's the opposite in America. All the southern food has strong flavors and is very spicy, but food in the frozen northern areas of the country is very bland and has very light sauces. Like, you can tell how far south your bowl of Chili is from just by testing to see how spicy it is.

@samneibauer4241 8 лет назад

Yup, I live in North Dakota (northernmost central US) and nobody here likes spicy food at all. They seriously can't take medium salsa very easily. Very bland food, too, mostly ground beef and grains. Just look up "hotdish" (one word). But I have relatives in the south (Southern Missouri) and they made us the spiciest pork ribs I have aver had and I loved it. The US definitely has spicier food the more southernly you go

@XXdwheels 2 года назад

Yes! GuoBaoRou from Harbin is still my all time favorite dish! Second is some of the salty-vinegary dishes I had in Shandong, while fried cicadas weren't the best, Hot Chicken with vinegar dip, and some form of dry salty chicken were my favorites. I wish I knew the name of the dry chicken, it was whole thighs and breasts with a lot of salty flavor on the outside and was mildly crispy but served completely dry.

@nbo8888 8 лет назад

Cantonese cuisine rules! Nothing beats freshness. Rarely is white rice ordered in a Canto restaurant. One of the reason to use all that hot spices is to cover up the 'not so fresh' meat or fish without discarding or wasting. If I was in their shoes, I would throw anything out also. Years ago, for most poor farmers/peasants in China, the rich spicy sauces helps with meals made up of mostly white rice to filled their stomachs and was the least expense way of feeding a typical family of many. Keep up the good work Mike!

@sanjayr 8 лет назад

+Paul Chan Saying that adding extra flavour is a way to mask bad meat is a pretty biased and unsubstantiated claim. The style of Indian food that my people makes is very heavy on spices and flavour/sauce and we use great ingredients. You can't generalise to suit your own beliefs if the evidence doesn't hold water. I've eaten most of the cuisine types shown here and tbh i think it's just a matter of preference. I like robust flavours, spiciness and very bold tasting foods. It's not because i don't like to taste the meat or veges themselves, but more that i see the food as being enhanced with said flavours.

@garnetstone87 8 лет назад
