Dim Sum Restaurant: Ginger Beef

Sweet Ginger Dept: It s an oddity amongst the dumplings and turnip cake: splinters of fried beef tossed in a sweet ginger sauce with green onions and garlic. Apparently ginger beef is a beloved dish from the region where Cho, an associate professor of English at Western University, grew up Alberta, according to The Star. You may well have eaten in some of the restaurants that Cho, 34, writes about in Eating Chinese: Culture on the Menu in Small-Town Canada , a book that will be published in November and at Rol San, a dim sum restaurant on Spadina Ave., Lily Cho does the ordering. She has, after all, spent 11 years studying Chinese restaurants, and wants me to try something special. Almost no one today would identify the dish as authentically Chinese. Indeed, according to Cho, it is in many ways authentically Canadian. As reported in the news.
