Summer is the season when ducks are at their fattest. Duck meat can invigorate the stomach and nourish your body if you lose your appetite during the hot days of summer. Simmering the duck meat over a low heat for four hours with some bamboo-shoot tips can help improve digestion and clear away heat and toxins. Just be sure to add some salt just before you turn off the heat, and then it's time to enjoy this light but restorative dish!
