On our family dinner table, the most poultry ingredients appear, except for chicken, it should be duck. The ancients also said that duck meat is beautiful, and even domestic chickens like to eat it. Different from the delicious and tender taste of chicken, duck as an aquatic animal has a heavier meaty taste and relatively rough meat, so it requires higher cooking skills.
If there are many ways to cook chicken, and a single part can make a dish by itself, then the way of cooking duck meat is much more limited. Common ones include roast duck and old duck soup. , beer duck, etc. Of course, for the Chinese who "food is the heaven for the people", it is not difficult to make duck meat delicious.
