Cantonese Roast Goose, or shao e, is an iconic dish originating in Guangdong, especially famous in Hong Kong. The goose is marinated with a blend of spices, maltose syrup, and soy sauce, then roasted until the skin becomes crisp and lacquered. The meat remains juicy, with rich flavor enhanced by the slow roasting process. Roast goose has been celebrated for centuries and is often considered a highlight of Cantonese banquets. Nutritionally, goose is high in protein and iron but also contains fat, making it indulgent. The dish is typically served chopped into pieces with plum sauce for dipping. Roast goose represents Cantonese mastery of roasting techniques and their ability to create harmony between skin, fat, and meat. It has become a cultural symbol of Cantonese cuisine worldwide.
