Stewed duck with wax gourd and barley
Introduction:
"There is a saying in Guangdong that" it is better to eat without vegetables than without soup ". You can imagine how important soup is to Cantonese. Cantonese have a long history of drinking Laohuo soup, which is closely related to the hot and humid climate in Guangdong for three-quarters of the year. And the type of soup will change with the change of seasons. For many years, making soup has become an essential part of Cantonese life and a symbol of Guangdong food culture. Today's soup is simple and easy to make. It tastes sweet and delicious. It has the functions of relieving heat, invigorating the spleen and stomach, beautifying the face, nourishing and strengthening the body. It is an essential old fire Soup for every Cantonese family in summer. In the four seasons, duck meat is especially suitable for summer. As the saying goes, "avoid eating duck in bitter summer.". Duck meat has the functions of "clearing away heat and toxin, nourishing Yin, reducing fire and tonifying". Eating in summer can not only supplement the excessive consumption of nutrition, but also remove the discomfort caused by summer heat. Wax gourd has the effects of heat clearing, diuresis, detumescence, beauty and weight loss, especially suitable for summer consumption. Job's tears is good for water detumescence, spleen dampness, whitening and beauty. Add tangerine peel soup, not only can make soup taste more fragrant, but also the spleen and stomach effect

Note: 1, duck blanching when adding ginger and cooking wine can play a role in fishy. 2. Duck soup is best peeled, or too greasy.

The color of Coix seed soup is milk white, which is more beautiful. 4. Wax gourd must be cut into pieces with skin, because the heat clearing effect of wax gourd is mainly in the skin rather than the flesh. 5. Don't put too much tangerine peel, just a small piece. 6.
