Cantonese almost always cook their vegetables as simply as possible to best show case the sweetness and natural flavour of the veg. Try this for yourself, you might just fall in love with this way of cooking.
Jasmine Rice
Plain jasmine rice with a subtle aroma accompanies the flavoursome dishes perfectly.
Mango chiffon cake
Without any raising agent, chiffon cake depends on whipped egg white to incorporate air, so the cake is much lighter and fluffier. The sweet and aromatic mango is also a favourite Chinese flavour.
