Cantonese cuisine is typified by simple dishes that are all about clear,
natural flavors, reflections of the region's abundant seafood and
agriculture. While cooks in Sichuan and Dongbei may blast their food
with spice, Cantonese cooks employ very few heavy spices, letting main
ingredients speak for themselves. Also unlike the cuisines of Northern
and Western China, lamb and goat are rarely seen on the Cantonese table.
Pork, beef, chicken, fish, and seafood€”and often all parts thereof€”are
the primary proteins.
