Tender duck meat is seasoned with a fragrant blend of sugar, anise, soy sauce, ginger, cinnamon, and chili pepper, then nestled inside soft, fluffy bao buns. The buns are steamed to perfection, creating a delightful contrast between the sweet and savory filling and the pillowy texture of the bun. A delicious harmony of flavors in every bite.

For steamed duck buns with sweet and savory flavors from sugar, anise, soy sauce, ginger, and cinnamon, a lightly sweet white wine like Moscatel de Alejandría complements the dish. The grape's floral aromatics and delicate sweetness balance the rich duck meat and spices. Alternatively, a fruity red like Dolcetto with soft tannins pairs well with the tender steamed buns and duck.
