Early Look: Three Cantonese Dishes to Smother Over Rice
🕑 Added 2025-10-05 23:26:20 +0000 UTCI love big bowls of rice smothered with various dishes. Maybe it’s in my blood as an American – I mean, we are the proud originators of innovative food concepts such as the ‘garbage plate’ and the ‘slop bowl’.
This is why I adore Chinese ‘fast food’ counters and Thai ‘curry’ counters: there’s a veritable buffet of dishes all laid out, you select your smorgasbord, you devour over rice. And so, over the years we’ve tried our best to bring this fare to you in our ongoing “over rice” series – bringing you over a dozen of the rice adjacent dishes that we love, from various corners of the country.
And one of my favorite corners of the country to eat is, of course, Guangdong. So ‘Cantonese Over Rice’ is an obvious next chapter in the series.
Of course, the entire concept of 'over rice' as opposed to 'with rice' is… let’s just say controversial among some Cantonese food circles. We'll delve into that cultural aspect a bit in the written post, but for now - enjoy some Cantonese rice killers :)

Unfortunately no we don't :/ But on that note we should probably circle back and do more Guizhou dishes!

Do you guys know of any Guizhou cookbook in English? If not, have you thought about writing one? I would buy it
