Let's talk about the specific method of this dish: first, wash the white duck, gut it, put it in an electric cooker (note: it is best to use an electric sand pot for stewing traditional Chinese medicine in the market), and add pure water or mineral water (note: don't put it in local tap water). Turn on the electricity and start the duck stew. Stew it with high fire first, and when the water boils, add the soup material of white duck soup (note: the soup material can be wrapped in gauze and put in). After adding the soup, stew it for about ten minutes with high fire, and then simmer it slowly. After simmering for two hours, open the lid and skim off the oil slick and sundries on the soup with a spoon. At this time, you will find that the soup has begun to become turbid and smelly. Cover it again and simmer for about five hours. When you open the lid five hours later, you will find that the soup has become very clear from the previous turbidity, as if it were nothing. At this time, the soup is stewed and can be eaten with a little salt.
