Lemon Duck

Níngméng Yā is a signature dish from Nanning, Guangxi. Duck is stir-fried with pickled lemons (ningmeng yan), sour plums, garlic, and chili. The pickled lemons give the dish a unique tangy, aromatic quality that cuts through the richness of the duck meat. It is considered one of Guangxi's most iconic dishes.
