Eat China Special: Southern Chinese Food (E1)

Missed our Eat China special that aired on the Asian Food Network? Enjoy the full episodes right here.

There’s not just one type of Chinese food. This is Eat China, where we dissect Chinese cuisine region by region to understand the sheer variety of flavors and techniques that have evolved over the centuries. Join our host Clarissa as she uncovers China’s signature dishes, from east to west, north to south.

In the first episode, we head south to the home of Cantonese food. Cantonese cuisine is not all dim sum, but bao mastery and rice-based dishes are strong here. Discover the food of the south, take a tour of Hong Kong, and watch our producer make rice noodle rolls from a dim sum school master chef.
