---【Roasted duck with winter melon】---
Prepare ingredients: 350 grams of duck meat, 300 grams of winter melon, two star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, a little green onion, a little ginger, an appropriate amount of salt, an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce, a little aged vinegar, a little rock sugar, and an appropriate amount of cooking wine.
Steps:
1. After cleaning the duck meat, chop it into small pieces with a kitchen knife for later use.
2. Wash the winter melon, remove a layer of hard skin on the surface, and then cut it into small pieces for later use.
3. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put the cut duck meat in a pot under cold water, skim off the foam on the surface after boiling, add a little cooking wine to remove the smell, and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
4. After the duck meat is removed, wash off the residual foam on the surface with water, and control the moisture for later use.
5. Heat the wok first, then add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to moisten the pan, after the oil is hot, add the duck meat and stir-fry, add green onions, ginger slices, star anise and cinnamon, and stir-fry the duck meat until the oil is out and the surface is slightly yellow.
6. Then add the boiling water that has not been covered by the duck meat, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, a little rock sugar to taste, a little dark soy sauce to adjust the color, then add about 2 grams of aged vinegar, turn to medium heat, cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes. When stewing duck meat, the amount of water should be added at one time, and it is best not to add more water halfway; When stewing duck meat, adding a little aged vinegar can effectively remove the fishy smell and greasy feeling of duck meat, and can also make the duck meat soft and rotten quickly, but there is no need to worry about the sour taste of the finished dish, because the sour taste of aged vinegar will be volatilized by high temperature during the stewing process.
7. After 30 minutes, add the winter melon pieces cut in advance, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, cover the pot and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes.
8. Finally, turn on the high heat, collect the soup slightly, and then put it out of the pot and put it on the plate.
The duck meat is soft and delicious, and the winter melon also absorbs the fresh aroma of the duck meat, which is particularly delicious.
