How to cook preserved duck and lotus root

When we turn on the TV and see food programs, I think everyone can’t resist the temptation. In fact, in life, if we master some cooking skills and methods, we can also enjoy healthy and delicious dishes at home. Now I’ll give you an opportunity to learn how to cook. Let’s start with this braised lotus root with cured duck.

1. Nowadays, people pay attention to low salt and low oil in their diet, so after buying and chopping the cured duck, soak it in water for one to two hours to remove some of the saltiness, and then drain the water and set aside.

3.212 Add a little ginger, slice it and set aside.

4. Pour in the duck meat and stir fry

5. When the surface of the duck meat is slightly browned, add water to the pot. Prepare to transfer to the pressure cooker

6. Add appropriate amount of water and pour the duck meat in the pot into the pressure cooker.

7. Cover the pressure cooker and set it to cooking mode for one and a half hours, and the duck meat will be basically cooked. (The pressure cooker can bring out the salty and fresh taste of the cured duck, so this dish must be cooked in a pressure cooker.)

8. While the duck meat is being pressed, prepare the lotus root. (If the lotus root is cut too early, the water will drain out, so this gap is just the right time to cut the lotus root.) Cut the lotus root into dice and set aside. (It is better to cut it into larger pieces. The larger the pieces, the longer they can be simmered in the soup without losing their shape.)

9. Open the pot and take a look. After the duck meat has been boiled until the soup turns white, add the lotus root and continue boiling for half an hour. The cured duck and lotus root are basically done.

10. Finally, add a little pepper and MSG for seasoning, add a little chopped green onion, and you can start eating. (Because the cured duck itself is a pickled product, there is basically no need to add salt. The salty soup of the cured duck itself is very delicious.)

11. The last picture of the finished product, look, does it make you drool?

Although there are many steps to cook cured duck and braised lotus root, it is not difficult at all as long as you master them carefully.
