Thunder Bay bon bons are a dish from Canadian Chinese cuisine. It is made by frying breaded spare ribs.
History
The dish was invented by Chinese restaurant owner Lam Pang in Thunder Bay, Ontario in 1946. He first immigrated from Taishan, Guangdong to Canada as a child and learned how to cook onboard ships before founding a restaurant called Pang’s. Pang invented the “bon bons” as a quick dish to serve to guests at a house party he was catering.[1]
The dish is often served at restaurants in Thunder Bay where it is popularly paired with beer.[2] It is considered to be an important part of Canadian Chinese cuisine.[3]
Description
Thunder Bay bon bons are made by breading and frying pork spare ribs. The ribs are usually seasoned with five-spice powder[4] and served with lemon.[1]
