Seasonal Lao Duck Soup

Cut the duck into small pieces, put it in boiling water and blanch for a few minutes together with the ginger slices, then rinse with cold water to remove the foam for later use; peel and remove the flesh of winter melon, and cut into thick slices.
2.
Put an appropriate amount of water in the casserole, and put the prepared duck and ginger slices in cold water after the fire is turned on.

Put the clean auxiliary materials into a casserole and cook for about one hour, avoiding air leakage when opening the lid.

In winter, you can replace lotus seeds and lilies with American ginseng slices and goji berries and other nourishing supplementary materials; winter melon can also be boiled with duck at the same time. It is best not to peel it to keep the shape of winter melon.
