Wash the old ginger and slice it for later use.

Put in the ginger slices and stir-fry over low heat until dried and charred. Take out 1/3 of the ginger slices for later use.
Step 5
Spread the duck pieces at the bottom of the clay pot, cover the pot, and bake over low heat for 10 minutes to let the natural moisture of the duck meat seep out.
Step 6
Open the lid, add 30ml of light soy sauce, 10ml of dark soy sauce, 10g of rock sugar, 3g of salt, pour in 1 bowl of Huadiao wine, and cover with the previously removed ginger slices.
