(Zhangcha duck, Zhāngchá Yā, 樟茶鴨, 樟茶鸭, Tea-smoked duck)

Zhangcha duck is a duck smoked with tea and camfor, originating from the Chinese province of Sichuan which is famed for its spicy dishes. The preparation of this meal is a five-step process; first, it’s marinated, then boiled, air-dried, smoked, and finally, fried.


When served, pieces of duck meat are topped on gebao — a clam-shaped bun.
