Walking on the snow to find plum blossoms--braised duck breast with yam

The moisture in the air gradually decreases in autumn and winter, especially in the north, where the weather is often mainly dry and cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dryness can easily damage the lungs, so we should eat more foods that nourish yin and nourish the lungs. The traditional medicinal diet of yam and duck stew is the best product in this kind of diet.

[Duck meat], nourishing yin and moistening lungs, is often called the first nourishing product among meat in autumn and winter. [Yam] is sweet and flat, not dry or greasy, and has a strong Yin nourishing effect. When served with duck meat, it not only strengthens the lung nourishing effect, but also eliminates the greasy feeling of duck meat.
Traditional yam and old duck stew, washing ducks, chopping ducks and stewing ducks takes time and effort. If not handled properly, diners with more picky tastes are reluctant to eat more because of the smell of the duck. This can be avoided well by replacing traditional old duck pieces with semi-finished duck breast meat that has undergone preliminary treatment. Coupled with longan, which strengthens qi and nourishes blood, and wolfberry, which nourishes qi and tranquilizes the nerves, in this season when the wind is high and the food is dry, Lan Jingling is dedicated to all friends in the north. This delicious and nutritious health food-braised duck breast with yam.
The yam was processed into the shape of plum blossoms, and the snow-white yam juice was added to give this dish the name-Tading Snow to Find Plum.

Soft glutinous yam, fat but not greasy duck meat, sweet longan, sweet soup... In the season of the north wind, what is warmer than this?
The day before yesterday, Qingdao had its first snow of the winter. I heard that it would also snow in Beijing this morning. Welcome to join me-hiking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms.

Applicable population:

    1. Duck meat cannot be eaten with rabbit meat, bayberry, walnut, turtle, fungus, walnut, garlic, and buckwheat. 2. Yams are relatively crisp, so when pressing plum blossoms, they must be pressed vertically and quickly to avoid damaging the shape. 3. Only longan meat is used for longan, and the juice used to soak longan should not be put in it to avoid affecting the color of the finished dish. Longan water can be reserved for other purposes. 4. After heating, the yam paste can serve as a thickening agent. People who don't like to use starch to thicken can often get a little yam paste at home.
