Hubei-style Salted Duck with Tofu

Hubei-style Salted Duck with Tofu is a traditional Chinese dish with tender duck meat and silky tofu pieces, seasoned with fragrant salt and soy sauce. The dish originates from the Hubei province and is known for its unique flavor and texture. The duck is first marinated with salt and then boiled in water, resulting in a juicy and flavorful meat.
