Tips:
1. Don't cut the duck pieces too small, otherwise it will be harmful to the water during cooking;
2. The duck pieces are blanched in water to make the duck less irritating, and the meat must be blanched thoroughly after putting it in cold water;
3. Putting hoisin sauce will make the taste richer and thicker. Putting southern milk in cooking will also make the dishes more mellow;
Fourth, filter out the residue of the seasoning to make the dishes look neater;
5. Considering that the potatoes will cook for a long time, the corners of the potato pieces will make the juice gelatinized, so cut them into a rounder ball. If you like the squishy feeling, you can cut the potato into pieces with a hob;
6. Don't let the stewed stuff be salty enough in one go. The juice will be more salty after the juice is collected. It is safer to try again after the juice is collected.
