Li's Sugar-Coated Duck Introduction
Pingtung Li Ji Braised Duck in Rock Sugar boasts a unique flavor and excellent texture, which have already earned it a local reputation. With over twenty years of experience, "Li Ji Braised Duck in Rock Sugar" offers various kinds of braised duck dishes, operated by the second generation of the Li family, Li Zuqin. The restaurant emphasizes handmade cooking throughout the process. During the braising, a unique blend of traditional Chinese herbal medicine is added, making the braised duck sweet yet not greasy, with a springy texture that has a good bite. First, high-quality ducks are selected and boiled slowly in a large pot for one hour to reduce the fat. Then, a mixture of Chinese herbs, rock sugar, soy sauce, wine, ginger, and other seasonings is added, and the dish is simmered slowly over low heat. The braising sauce and the natural juices from the duck are simmered down until the sauce thickens and is repeatedly poured over the duck.
