Yellow duck is called stewed tofu

Overview

Yellow duck call, also known as yellow catfish and yellow bone fish, is a special dish in Hunan. You can see it in food stalls in the streets and alleys. As a Hunanese living in Beijing, I missed the taste of my hometown, so I learned to make it myself. This soup usually requires adding perilla to make it pure. However, I didn’t see anyone selling perilla in Beijing, so I had to skip this step, but the soup still tastes good!
