Fujian plate duck is more famous for Shaxian plate duck, Youxi plate duck and Jian'ou plate duck.

The duck is then propped open and fixed with a bamboo basket and hung in a special oven for baking. The fuel is made of mixed wood, and when it is almost ripe, the tea seed shell can be added to burn, so that the roasted duck meat is more fragrant.
There are three ways to eat the plate duck, one is to put it in the pot and steam for half an hour, cut the pieces and eat it directly; one is to cut the pieces, put it into the pot and stir-fry with shallots, ginger, garlic, wine and other spices; and the other is to cut the pieces and put them on the white rice noodles, steamed and eaten with the white rice. My favorite third method is not only the steamed plate duck spicy and delicious, but also the faint white rice also sucks in the juice of the plate duck, which has a unique flavor.
