Emei Mountain Braised Duck

Emei Mountain Braised Duck

　　Emei Mountain braised duck features a vibrant red hue, tender meat with a delicious taste, and an enticing aroma, with a slight smoky flavor. It makes a great pairing with alcohol. The most distinctive quality of the smoked duck is that it is fragrant without being overly dry—the duck meat is wonderfully aromatic in the mouth but never leaves a parched sensation. Its flavor strikes a unique balance between cured old ham and traditional braised meat.

　　There are as many as a hundred braised duck stalls throughout the city, making it easy to find everywhere. Among them, “Cao’s Duck” (No. 10 Jinding North Road) on the commercial street is especially renowned.
