Chinese Duck Lettuce Wraps with Duck Bone Soup 鴨鬆生菜包 | 鴨骨湯
It's the classic one duck two flavors! That means you start with one whole duck and use it to make two delicious dishes with it. So in this case, besides using our leftover duck to create Chinese Duck Lettuce Wrap 鴨鬆生菜包, a scrumptiously savory mince wrapped in fresh crunchy lettuce, we also used the scraped clean duck bones to make a simple but really flavorful Duck Bone Soup 鴨骨湯.
