One of the benefits of eating together as a family is being able to order a large variety of food to share, this is where Hong Kong's roasted meat platters are absolutely perfect. Essentially, these Cantonese styled roasted meats are roasted on spits over an open fire or large wood-burning oven, each of which is doused in its own distinct sauce. Some of the most popular roasted meat dishes include Char Siu, strips of pork shoulder that is roasted over a pit and coated with sweet black sauce, Siu Yuk, pork belly that is made crispy and brittle by roasting in high temperature and Si Yao Gai, chicken marinated in light sweet soy sauce. They are best eaten over a plate of steaming white rice. On top of this, many eateries have rice-meat pairings too! But you can opt for noodles if you want something soupy and slurpy. All available on foodpanda.
Steamed Hong Kong delights are delicious to eat, but what’s more beneficial than healthy cooking techniques? Steaming makes these dishes healthier because they are cooked at low temperatures and often do not require much oil or butter. Commonly savoured ones are steamed fish, black bean stewed pork ribs and minced pork. Sophisticated to prepare, as it includes techniques of pounding the minced meat to ensure perfect consistency, getting the sauce ratio right or chopping endless garnishes and ingredients. Normally dressed with sharp ginger slices, fragrant scallions, garlic and chillies, the steamed fish is steamed to tender perfection. Pork ribs and minced pork are usually tossed with mushy black beans and soy sauce for a little sweet and savoury flavour. What are your family's favourite steamed dishes? Order them all on foodpanda, and pair it with a couple bowls of white rice!
