three cups of duck

Ingredients

  • Half a duck (preferably a young duck)
  • Tender ginger strips, chili peppers

Seasonings

  • Oil, soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, cooking wine, vinegar
  • A small amount of sugar, salt

Preparation Steps

  1. Cut the duck into pieces and wash thoroughly.
  2. Slice the tender ginger into thin strips.

Cooking Steps

  1. Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the ginger strips for a while.
  2. Add the duck pieces and stir-fry, then pour in cooking wine and continue stir-frying.
  3. Add light soy sauce and oyster sauce (adjust the amount for taste, but avoid excessive saltiness).
  4. Add a small amount of sugar or rock sugar (just enough for a hint of sweetness).
  5. Transfer everything to a pressure cooker, add water (enough to slightly cover the bottom to prevent burning), and reduce to low heat once steam is released.
  6. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat. Wait for the pressure to release, then check if the duck is tender enough. If not, continue cooking for a short while.

Tip

For "Chenpi Duck," replace sugar with dried tangerine peel and add sour plums or half a lemon (sliced).
