南京盐水鸭, or Nanjing Salted Duck, is a traditional dish from Nanjing, a city in China. This delicacy is known for its tender meat and rich flavor, achieved through a unique brining process. The duck is typically marinated in a mixture of salt, spices, and sometimes rice wine, then boiled and cooled, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. The dish is often served cold and is popular as a snack or appetizer. It is commonly enjoyed with a side of scallions and soy sauce, enhancing its savory taste. Nanjing Salted Duck is a staple in local cuisine and reflects the region's culinary heritage.
