Qianzhou Dried Duck

Qianzhou Dried Duck

　　A famous traditional specialty of Jishou. As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was exported to Japan and Southeast Asia. Visitors to Qianzhou often buy several pieces to taste or give as gifts to family and friends. Qianzhou Dried Duck is exquisitely made. The well-prepared duck is shaped like a lute, with a golden color and glossy sheen. The meat is tender and deliciously fragrant. When cooking Qianzhou Dried Duck, first rinse it in cold water, cut it into small pieces without adding any seasonings, steam it until the meat separates from the bone, and then it is ready to eat—deliciously sweet and considered an exquisite delicacy.
