Guangdong has many delicious foods, and its diet is also unique.
I remember when I first came to Guangdong, I saw the height and figure of Cantonese people everywhere. A classmate who was recruited at the same time pushed up the frame of his glasses on his nose and said quietly, " Why do southerners eat the national standard food but not according to the national standard?" Standard length ""? .
Another classmate said, "I know the reason. They have a bowl of soup before a meal, a bowl of soup after a meal, and then drink tea. This is an enema first, and then a colon cleansing." Therefore, the national standards have been lowered.

Lunch
Lunch is a kind of fast food for old people.
has been busy all morning. If you buy it outside, it will mainly be rice-based, with unique Cantonese dishes. Although simple, the dishes are absolutely rich.
The most common ones are vegetables, fish, and seafood, and there must be soup. This soup is usually drunk before a meal. This is also different from many northern areas. In addition, Cantonese lunch dishes are generally less oily and salty, relatively light, and mostly use oyster sauce for freshness.

Dinner

They like to cook porridge and drink soup. Moreover, they are particularly particular about making soups, and there are many types.
For example, preserved egg and lean meat porridge , chicken porridge, fish fillet porridge, etc., as well as particularly nutritious chicken soup, pig trotter soup , old duck soup , etc., which are very good in taste and nutrition.
When you drink it, add some green vegetables to make a complete dinner.
Due to the hot and humid climate in Guangdong, it is easy to sweat, and cooking porridge and drinking soup can well replenish the water lost due to sweating, which is also a very rare eating habit.
Let us take pig trotter soup as the representative of dinner for everyone to understand.
Soybean and pig's trotter soup is a home-cooked dinner that Cantonese people like very much. It is rich in nutrients, nourishing and delicious. Blanch the soybeans and pig's trotters, put them into a casserole and simmer slowly. Add ginger slices, salt, light soy sauce, rock sugar, etc. and simmer until the meat falls off the bones. The pig's trotter soup tastes neither fishy nor greasy, elastic and soft, and the soup is thick and milky, with a particularly delicious taste. As the saying goes: "I would rather eat without vegetables than eat without soup."
