Li Ji Braised Duck in Rock Candy Sauce Introduction
Pingtung Li Ji Crystal Sugar Sauce Duck has a unique flavor and excellent texture, which has already won local reputation. Established for more than twenty years, "Li Ji Crystal Sugar Sauce Duck" offers various types of sauce duck braised dishes, run by the second generation, Li Zuqin. The restaurant emphasizes pure handmade cooking throughout the process. During the braising, a unique herbal medicine pouch with secret ingredients is added, making the sauce duck sweet but not greasy, with a chewy and elastic meat texture. First, a good-quality duck is selected and boiled in a large pot on low heat for one hour to remove the fat. Then, ingredients such as herbal medicine, crystal sugar, soy sauce, wine, and ginger are added, and the mixture is slowly simmered over low heat. The braising liquid and the duck's natural juices will eventually "dry up" to become a sauce, which is repeatedly drizzled over the duck.
