Home-cooked Cantonese Cuisine: Braised Teal with Perilla
Since cooking for my colleagues every day, my friends from the company next door disagree, and smell our food every day when I am hungry. So today, at the request of my colleagues, I made a super invincible braised perilla duck (fortunately, my colleagues in the company are not patients with perilla cancer). This braised duck with basil is an authentic Cantonese dish. I also believe that the Guangdong and Guangxi regions use the most basil. Fried snails and stone snails are a must. It is also a perfect match for the cooking of duck meat. You can learn it, as long as you can eat the aroma of perilla, you will definitely like it.

Tips for Home-cooked Cantonese Cuisine: Braised Teal with Perilla
The duck meat does not need to be blanched, and the duck meat is more fragrant and tastes better by simmering it to get the oil. (Of course, if you want to speed it up, you can also blanch it)
The perilla must be almost put again, so that the aroma of perilla is the most sufficient. If you don’t like perilla or don’t eat perilla, you can choose to add a handful of green onions and mix well at the end, it will be delicious.
You can also add some side dishes that absorb the soup, such as bamboo shoots, yuba, etc.
