🦆 How to Eat Houjie Roast Goose
- Choose a cut：The leg is the most tender, the breast absorbs the most flavor, and wings and feet pair well with drinks. Choose your favorite cut.
- Start with the skin：Bite into the skin first while it is hot, enjoying lychee-wood smoke and the crispness of caramelized maltose.
- Pair with plum sauce：Dip the second bite in sour plum sauce. Its sweet-tart flavor cuts through the richness and reveals another layer of savory goose flavor.
