Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Duck Meat] After boiling a whole duck, 'smoke' the surface fragrantly with sugar and tea leaves (this smoky aroma transfers to the broth). Chop bone-in into bite-sized pieces.
- [Broth] Slowly simmer duck bones, ginger, and scallions on low for hours to get a clear golden 'Duck Qingtang' (clear broth).
- At the bottom of a bowl, put salt, white pepper, a little soy sauce, and fragrant 'You Cong Su (fried shallots)'.
- Briefly boil yellow Chinese noodles (You Mian) with bean sprouts and chives, drain, and put in the bowl.
- Pour the piping hot duck broth and top with the chopped smoked duck meat.
- Finish with a few drops of duck fat (duck oil).

Trivia
[For Everyone] A hugely popular specialty shop menu alongside Duck Rice. Features sweet duck fat—light yet wild—absent in pork broth. The smoky aroma dissolves into the soup, making you want to drink every last drop.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Dip the duck meat into a separate dish of mixed 'sweet thick soy sauce' and 'chili sauce' on the spoon, and slurp it with the noodles!
