Taizhou taro duck casserole

There is a saying in the healthy speech: "three year old duck is like ginseng, ten year old chicken is like arsenic", "ginseng" is just a metaphor. It's just a big tonic.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, duck meat can greatly tonify the deficiency of labor, nourish the Yin of the five zang organs, clear the heat of deficiency of labor, replenish blood and water, and has the effects of nourishing stomach and body fluid, relieving cough and self convulsion, eliminating snail accumulation, clearing heat and strengthening spleen, weakness and swelling. Duck meat is suitable for people with heat and heat in the body; it is better for people with low heat, weak constitution, loss of appetite, dry stool and edema. At the same time, it is suitable for malnutrition, postpartum body deficiency, night sweats, spermatorrhea, women with less menstruation, dry throat and thirst; it is also suitable for cancer patients and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, diabetes, cirrhosis ascites, tuberculosis, chronic nephritis and edema. Therefore, the people think that duck is "the holy medicine of tonifying deficiency".

It is said that in ancient Taizhou, when eating casserole around the table at home, the old duck with streaky pork was used as the base, and the bean noodles and taro were added to make it. After eating, it was delicious and the soup was thick, so it was handed down from generation to generation. After the improvement by the chef, it became today's Taro duck.
