Everyone likes Beijing roast duck, even foreigners like it. As one of the representatives of Chinese cuisine, every city has regional cuisine. When you come to Nanjing, foodies must try the duck with rock sugar sauce here.

This is a small shop in a suburban village in Nanjing, which specializes in making duck with rock sugar sauce. Many people in the city drive 20-30 kilometers to buy them, and they have to wait in line for two or three hours on weekends. Because the dining seats in the store are limited, they are basically packed and taken away. The boss is a 70-year-old eldest brother, and the craft handed down by his old father has been in business for nearly 40 years.

At the moment, Big Brother is busy washing the whole fresh duck purchased from the market that day and putting it in the cauldron. Duck stew soup is the exclusive secret recipe of the store. This pot can stew twenty or thirty ducks. Add a special stew bag made of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in the store, add a handful of chopped green onion, and add a steaming plate to suppress duck meat from soaking in the soup. Simmer for about 40 minutes, open the lid, take out the cooked duck and put it on a plate, cool it a little and control the water for later use.

Ignite and heat another spare stew pot, which is the rock sugar soup used to make duck with rock sugar sauce. Put three exclusive stew buns in each pot, completely immerse the buns in the soup, put the cooled and cooked ducks in the tumbling soup pot, pour the soup on the duck skin constantly, and turn the ducks constantly. Stew for about 40 minutes on medium heat, the soup in the pot has thickened and the duck has thickened.

Take out the duck stewed with rock sugar sauce, control the water in the duck skin and stomach, put it in a plate, brush it with vegetable oil to add color, and the duck with bright red rock sugar sauce will be ready. Cool it a little and you can cut it. The ducks in the shop are all sold as a whole. The price of this is 120 yuan, about 3 kg.

Big brother said that he could sell for about 70 yuan a day, and the family never stopped from morning till night. Uncle's duck with rock sugar sauce smells delicious and its skin is purple. It tastes tender and tender, and even bones can be chewed directly. Eldest brother said that at first, it was just a cart to sell, and gradually everyone found it delicious, but the area was relatively small. The canteen could only accommodate a few diners with small tables, most of whom were takeaways.
