How it's used
This dish is a classic Cantonese preparation where the duck is braised in a master stock seasoned with soy sauce, spices, and aromatics. It is distinct from roast duck because the skin remains soft and infused with the braising liquid rather than being crispy. You will often find it served in local siu mei shops alongside other braised meats.
