Braised Wild Goose in Soy Sauce

Braised Wild Goose in Soy Sauce

　　“Eat fowl above and fish below.” The delicacy of fowl has always been a highly sought-after dish among customers. Wild goose meat is sweet in nature and is known to benefit the spleen and lungs, dispel wind and relax tendons, strengthen bones and muscles, enhance yang energy, and nourish internal organs. Goose fat also helps to invigorate blood circulation, dispel wind, clear heat, and detoxify, earning it the title of “king of meats.” Braised wild goose in soy sauce boasts an aroma that fills the air—the goose meat is tender yet not greasy, and its texture, color, flavor, and nutritional value are unmatched by ordinary edible fowl. It is a premium dish from Dunhuang.
