Walking in the snow and looking for plum-braised duck breast with yam

The moisture in the air gradually decreases in autumn and winter, especially in the north, where the weather is often dry and cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dry evil is easy to damage the lungs, so eat more foods that nourish yin and nourish the lungs. The traditional medicated yam laoya pot is a good product of this type of diet.

【Duck meat】, nourishing yin and nourishing lungs, it is often called the best nourishing product in autumn and winter in meat. [Yam] It is sweet and flat, not dry or greasy, and has a strong yin-tonifying effect. It can not only strengthen the lung nourishment effect, but also eliminate the greasy feeling of duck meat.
The traditional yam old duck pot, washing duck, cutting duck and stewing duck are time-consuming and laborious, if not handled properly, it will make more picky diners unwilling to eat too much because of the smell of duck. This can be avoided by replacing the traditional old duck chunks with semi-finished duck breasts that have undergone preliminary treatment. Coupled with the longan which nourishes the blood and the wolfberry which nourishes the energy and calms the nerves, in this season of high wind and dryness, Lan Jingling dedicate to all friends in the north, this delicious and nutritious health delicacy-braised duck breast with yam.
The yam was processed into the shape of plum blossoms, and the snow-white yam juice was added to give this dish the name—Take Xuexunmei.

Soft glutinous yam, fat but not greasy duck meat, sweet longan, sweet soup... What can be warmer than this when the north wind is whistling?

2. Scrape off the skin of the yam.

3. Cut the yam into 1cm thick slices.

4. Use a mold to press vertically down the surface of the thick yam slices to form plum blossom slices.

5. Press all the yam tablets into plum blossom slices.

6. Put water in the casserole, add the plum blossom mountain pills, boil on high heat and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.

7. Put a little oil in a pan, add ginger slices and fry until fragrant.

8. Cut the half-cooked duck breast into 0.5cm thin slices, put it in a pan, and fry until both sides are colored.

9. Put the fried duck breast in a casserole.

10. Add the longan, cover the casserole and simmer for 10 minutes.

11. Collect the leftovers left over when making yam plum slices.

12. Put the leftovers into a blender and add a small amount of water.

13. Add a small amount of salt and stir the leftovers into yam puree.

14. Pour the yam mud into the casserole, stir evenly, and bring to a boil on high heat again.

15. Put the yam, duck breast and longan on the plate and decorate with wolfberry.

Tips:
1. Duck meat cannot be eaten with rabbit meat, bayberry, walnuts, turtles, fungus, walnuts, garlic, and buckwheat.

2. The yam is relatively brittle. When pressing the plum slices, press it down vertically, and the speed should be fast, so as not to damage the shape.

3. Longan only uses longan meat, so don't put the longan juice in it to avoid affecting the finished dishes. Longan water can be reserved for other uses.

4. The yam mud can be used to thicken the yam after being heated. People who do not like to use starch to thicken the yam can often get a little bit of yam mud at home.
