Xingang Stir-Fried Duck Soup Introduction
Many food enthusiasts eagerly remember the deliciousness of duck meat soup, especially the highly praised "Xingang Stir-Fried Duck Meat Soup" from the authentic Xingang flavor in Chiayi, located in Banqiao. This inconspicuous little shop on Zhongzheng Road is run by the owner, who shares the same name as the former Banqiao District Chief Jiang Huizhen. For many years, she has insisted on local flavors, using the famous Gao family's Wuyin vinegar from Shulin to enhance the taste, making this bowl of Taiwanese snack a delicacy in the eyes of gourmets. The preparation of duck meat soup involves sautéing garlic, onions, and chili in oil, then stir-frying fresh shredded duck meat until fragrant. Afterward, crispy and sweet Mei Shan bamboo shoots from the owner's hometown are added, and finally, a bit of Wuyin vinegar is drizzled on top. A single taste is enough to earn great praise. Unlike the common practice of thickening soup with cornstarch, Jiang Huizhen carefully selects locally produced sweet potato flour, making it healthier and lighter. The duck meat soup can be served with noodles, sweet potato noodles, or rice noodles. The southern-style "Duck Meat Soup Rice" is worth trying, where the rice absorbs the flavorful and sweet duck meat soup, creating a delightful combination. Don't miss Jiang Huizhen's side dishes, "Braised King Oyster Mushrooms" and "Braised Five-Spice Bean Curd."
