Beer Duck

Key ingredients like ginger, star anise, and cinnamon infuse the duck with deep, warming flavors, while Shaoxing wine and beer create a savory, slightly tangy sauce. The duck is first blanched to remove any gaminess, then stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and spices until golden and fragrant. A splash of beer and vinegar adds complexity, simmering down to a luscious glaze. For a spicy kick, red pepper can be added. Finished with fresh scallions, this dish is perfect served over rice or noodles. The slow braising ensures melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, making it a standout centerpiece for any dinner table.
