How it's used
This traditional Cantonese dish consists of duck liver stuffed with minced pork and fat, creating a rich contrast in texture and flavor. It is often served as a cold appetizer or a side dish in classic Cantonese banquet menus. Because it is quite heavy and fatty, it is typically enjoyed in small portions rather than as a main course.
