Description
Lu shui e (卤水鹅) — Teochew braised goose — is the pinnacle of Chaozhou cuisine's lu shui (master stock braising) tradition. A whole goose is submerged in a complex spiced brine-stock for hours, then rested in the liquid as it cools. The resulting bird has a deeply mahogany skin, yielding flesh, and extraordinary depth from the accumulated complexity of a long-maintained master stock.
