How to make Ginger duck 薑母鴨

We managed to get some lovely fresh duck legs on special offer just in time for this dish which is great in the colder weather. Ginger duck 薑母鴨 was requested by Eric Liu and here it is. This meal has a lot in common with Taiwanese Sesame Wine Chicken, so if you like that meal, and you like duck, then you will love this. The flavour is very distinct due to the wine, sesame and Chinese medicine roots in the stew. Just like Sesame Wine Chicken this is a great dish to fight off those winter chills!
