Braised Old Duck with Ginkgo Fruit

As the most acclaimed local dish, braised old duck with ginkgo fruit is not only savory but also conducive to health. Using quality ginkgo fruit harvested in Xing’an and Linchuan Counties and old duck as main ingredients, the dish is braised over slow fire before serving. The slowness of the preparation results in slightly bitter soup filled with highly nutritious mixture of fragrant fruit and sweet duck meat. The dish can be easily prepared any time of the year. The fact that gingko fruit is cold in nature and old duck is able to drive away heat renders the dish perfect tonic food in nourishing the five internal organs, promoting salivation, stimulating appetite, reducing sputa to relieve cough, moisturizing the lungs and increasing the circulation of qi.
