Cantonese (Yue) cuisine
originates from Guangdong Province in Southern China, or more precisely, the
area around Guangzhou (Canton). Of the various regional styles of Chinese
cuisine, Cantonese is the most well-known outside of China.
Cantonese cuisine is characterized by the use of very mild and simple spices
in combination. Ginger, spring onion, sugar, salt, five-spice powder, white
pepper, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame
oil, bean starch and oil are sufficient for most Cantonese cooking. Garlic is
used heavily in dishes, especially those with internal organs that have
unpleasant odors, such as entrails. Cantonese cuisine is sometimes considered bland compared to the thicker, richer
and darker sauces found in other Chinese cuisines.
