Jinling Salted Duck Nanjing is well-deservedly called the “Duck Capital” and is said to have a history of more than a thousand years.
Salted duck is a famous specialty of Nanjing and one of the representatives of Jinling cuisine. It is also called sweet-scented osmanthus duck and is a geographical indication product in my country.
The grain-fed ducks produced in Nanjing have white fat color and fresh and tender meat. They were famous throughout the province in the Song Dynasty.
The salted duck is cooked at low temperature. After about an hour of cooking, the tenderness of the salted duck reaches a certain level.
The production process of Jinling Salted Duck is very ingenious and has a long history. During the long-term development process, a lot of experience has been accumulated in the production of this dish.
The skin of salted duck is white and tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious. It is fragrant, crispy and tender. It will definitely make you want to eat it again.
Sweet-scented osmanthus and taro seedlings are a famous traditional dessert in Nanjing and also belong to Jinling cuisine.
Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nanjing is filled with the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. This is also the season when taro is ripe.
So the hard-working women in Nanjing picked the sweet-scented osmanthus and marinated it with sugar, which was called "osmanthus slurry".
Use fresh taro sprouts, steam them and then peel them. Add special osmanthus syrup and slowly simmer them in a large pot. When the taro sprouts are almost soft and rotten, add lotus root starch. The addition of lotus root starch will make the sugar taro sprouts look thick and delicious.
It tastes smooth and refreshing, sweet and soft, and the soup is sweet, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth after eating.
