Anhui-style Salted Duck

Anhui-style Salted Duck is a traditional dish from the Anhui province in China. It is made by marinating a whole duck in a mixture of salt, sugar, soy sauce, spices, and other flavorings, and then air-drying it for several days. The resulting duck is tender and flavorful, with a crispy skin that has a salty and slightly sweet taste. It is often served sliced, either cold or hot, and is a popular dish during special occasions or festivals in China.
