Taibai duck is a traditional dish with a long history, which originated in the Tang Dynasty and is related to the poet Li Bai. Li Bai lived in Sichuan when he was young and loved the local stewed duck very much.
Later, he took this dish as a blueprint and presented it to Tang Xuanzong with a century-old steamed fat duck such as Huadiao wine, wolfberry, and notoginseng, and Xuanzong appreciated it very much and named this dish “Taibai Duck”. This dish has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a famous dish in Sichuan.
