Traditional Cantonese Dim Sum by Xinyuan Foods
To Invite Foreigners to Try Dongguan-style Sausages
There is a Cantonese saying goes in winter like “autumn winds blow, savory bacon swallowed”. In the autumn of Guangdong, the clear and refreshing weather is perfect for the sun-curing of sausages, thus welcomes the peak season of selling them. Located in the Houjie Town, Dongguan Xinyuan Foods Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “Xinyuan Foods”) is a well-known sausage producer in Dongguan. The curing process of Houjie-style sausages was listed as one of the provincial-level Intangible Cultural Heritages. As the heir to this heritage, Mr. Chen Shigen, the founder of Xinyuan Foods has spared no effort in spreading the curing techniques. Hence, the sausages made in Houjie have remained the first choice for many locals.
“September 1 inaugurates a year’s busiest season of sausage production”, explained by Ms. He Chunmei, the Assistant to the General Manager of Xinyuan Foods. The production of Xinyuan sausages usually starts at 3 am after the fresh pork is delivered to the factories, and the soy sauce used in the curing is the indispensable ingredient of their sausages. It turns out that Mr. Chen Shigen earned his first barrel of gold by making palatable soy sauce. He then mastered the know-how of curing sausages, but the soy sauce with his unique recipe has always been used in the sausage preparation by the company. Now Xinyuan Foods produces approximately 500 tons of sausages annually.
As a representative of Dongguan’s local delicacies, the products of Xinyuan Foods made their appearance at every session of the MSR Expo in the past. This year is no exception. At this MSRIE, overseas visitors are welcome to taste the freshly-made Houjie-style sausages. In addition, some traditional local Dim Sum made by Xinyuan Foods will also be displayed at the MSR Expo including egg rolls, phoenix rolls, and walnut cakes. (Journalist: Zhang Xinyi)
