However, there is also a southern Fujian delicacy that is highly praised by outsiders - ginger duck. This delicacy originated in southern Fujian and is one of the most popular tonic snacks there. It is also one of the most popular winter dietary supplements among Taiwanese people. Although the beautiful island of Taiwan has a pleasant climate all year round, it sometimes has a low temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius. Warm yourself up with a pot of ginger duck on days when low temperatures hit. It feels like bathing in the warm sunshine of winter, giving you a feeling of happiness. According to records in the two books "Chinese Medicine Genealogy" and "Hanfang Pharmacopoeia", in order to protect the king's dragon body, a famous doctor named Wu Zhong in the Shang Dynasty stewed duck meat with sesame oil, shochu and ginger. The soup was fragrant and flavorful. It is fresh and sweet with a hint of ginger's spiciness. After eating it, you can boost your energy and make your whole body feel smooth and comfortable. It is regarded as a holy nourishing food. Later, it spread to the people and became a famous dish. Ginger is also called ginger mother, so this dish is called "ginger mother duck".
