Cured Duck Congee with Dried Cabbage
The Benefits of Eating Cured Duck Meat
This light-tasting Cured Duck Congee has a unique aroma, and it is full of vitamins and protein. Consuming the dish can help clear heat, dispel fire, nourish the stomach, and engender liquid. In Compendium of Materia Medica, it is written that duck meat helps treat vacuity taxation, clears toxic heat, aids in the passing of urine, and reduces water bloat.
