Congee is rice base, porridge is wheat base. Add a splash of soy and a few drops sesame oil to any congee and it will taste great. So weird to call it a "rice roll" it's known as cheung-fun which is also a dim-sum dish. Cheung-fun is the kind of texture in food that the Chinese palate prizes, soft, tender and slippery almost no chewing required.
@ssomms2361Ай бұрын
I agree, I dislike it when people give weird english names just because it's easier to pronounce😂Local Cantonese do not add soy or oil into their congee because this will make the congee more watery separating the rice from the water imo. They only add white pepper if necessary.

Welcome to GZ the food and shopping capital of China. First there are many levels of food in GZ from the cheap , middle and high end. There is also a lot of fresh seafood ( swimming in the tank fresh ). Dim sum is prolly the most famous here but there are a lot of levels up to 1 star Michelin to fit every pocket- preferably hand made. Then there are steamed, braised, clay pot, wok stir fry, hotpot, deep fry - various cooking methods. Then the numerous sauces and preserved veg , herbs, spices, different soy sauces depending on what you cooking, dried ingredients ( shrimp, squid, mandarin peel, mushrooms, roots, dates, wolfberries, fish , scallops etc ). So GZ Cantonese cooking can get very complicated. It also goes according to the seasons ( weather , seasonal veg etc ). The amt of heat and time in cooking is crucial. That’s the intricacies of Cantonese food. The other thing in GZ is famous for is shopping cuz it has a lot of wholesale mkts for clothes , shoes , toys , electronics, mobile accessories, leather goods , teas , etc. Last but not least , sightseeing Canton Tower , malls , Canton Place, Chen house, ZNT , BJ Rd. Wen De Lu art st. , 108 fl Rosewood etc. GZ is way more affordable than SZ , SH or BJ. Enjoy your stay.
