Debone the roast duck and slice it into thin shreds; chop the duck bones into pieces.

Cooking the Duck Bone Soup

Heat a wok over the fire, add oil, and sauté the scallions and ginger until fragrant. Add the duck bones, splash in the Shaoxing wine, pour in the water, and bring to a rolling boil to make the soup.

Cooking the Dried Tofu Shreds

Strain the prepared duck bone soup into a clean pot, add the dried tofu shreds and simmer briefly, then add the roast duck shreds and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes and finally stir in the rendered duck fat.
