How it's used
This dish is a staple of traditional Cantonese dim sum culture and is considered a benchmark for a restaurant's quality. The key to a good version is the texture of the meat, which should be tender and juicy rather than tough or overly chewy. It is often served in a small metal dish and is frequently paired with a side of rice or enjoyed as part of a larger spread of small plates.
