Chinese history and culture are closely related to food culture.
When traveling, people want to experience the local culture and taste the food.
Many people have heard of several famous dishes of Confucius, such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea to Make Arhats" or "Yipin Tofu", which today are introduced as Confucius's Immortal Duck.
How to make fairy duck in Kongfu cuisine?
The time of steaming the duck is well controlled, and the original flavor is cooked with incense and steamed regularly. The Confucius Mansion is located in Qufu City, Shandong Province, where the younger generation of Confucius lived.
When talking about Confucius, many people will think of many Confucian thoughts, such as "rituals and virtues".
In the feudal society at that time, Kong Fanpo came to Shanxi as the prefect in the 74th generation of Confucius' descendants.
In order to welcome Kong Fanpo's arrival, the government chefs made a delicious dish with duck, which was crispy and rotten and full of aroma.
Although Kong Fanpo often heard about delicious food, he felt that the preparation method of this dish was unique, and he was full of praise after tasting it.
Fairy duck is a famous dish in Shandong with a long history.
The dish is said to be complicated to make and takes a long time to cook.
It needs to be placed on the table immediately after cooking to ensure its freshness.
This unique preparation method was also discovered by Kong Fanpo. When he tasted the duck, he also thought it tasted very good. The duck he ate calmly was a little different, so he curiously asked the chef how to make them.
The chef also said that this is a method of timing when burning incense, which can accurately grasp the cooking time.
Put the duck in the steamer and light three incense sticks first. When the three incense sticks are burned out, the duck will be mature.
This dish is boiled in water, so the soup is clear and delicious, reflecting the original flavor.
When Kong Fanpo heard about its preparation method, he also thought that the reason why the dish was so delicious was because it was moved by the gods. Burning incense and cooking was like offering sacrifices to the gods, so he named the dish "Fairy Duck".
Steps to make fairy duck: 1. Wash the duck first, break the calf bone ring, take out the internal organs, take out the duck paw bones, put them into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, boil over low heat for about 15 minutes, and then use cold water after boiling
soak.
2. Cut the winter bamboo shoots and ham in half, then cut off the duck spine and place it on the bottom of the casserole with the duck belly facing up. Place the ham on the duck breast. Place the mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots on both sides. Add some soy sauce, salt, rice wine and clear soup.
.
Don’t forget to add some onions, ginger and garlic.
3. Finally, cover the casserole directly and put it into the steamer.
After steaming, open the lid, pick up the onions, ginger and garlic, and add some MSG.
The reason why onions, ginger, and garlic are removed is to effectively ensure the flavor of the seasoning.
It is said that people put food first, and food is the only thing in the world that cannot live up to it.
Tasting delicious food is not only a pleasure, but also a hobby.
I am full of praise for this dish made in an excellent way.
It brings delicious food to everyone in a unique way, allowing people to truly feel the culture of food.
