	'''Jiaji Duck''' (Simplified Chinese: 加积鸭; Traditional Chinese: 加積鴨; Pinyin: ''Jiājī yā'') is a duck raised around Jiaji Town, Qionghai, ~~by the Wanquan River~~, typically ~~boiled~~ or ~~steamed~~ and served with ginger-vinegar or sesame dipping ~~sauces—one of~~ Hainan's four famous dishes with [[Dongshan Lamb]], [[Hele Crab]], and [[Wenchang Chicken]].		'''Jiaji Duck''' (Simplified Chinese: 加积鸭 or 嘉积鸭; Traditional Chinese: 加積鴨 / 嘉積鴨; Pinyin: ''Jiājī yā'') is duck raised around Jiaji (Jiaji / Jiaji Town) in Qionghai, Hainan, typically poached or "white-cut" and served chopped with ginger-vinegar or sesame-style dipping sauces. It is counted among Hainan's <b>four famous dishes</b> together with [[Wenchang Chicken]], [[Dongshan Lamb]], and [[Hele Crab]], and appears on [[Hainan Food]] as a regional identity plate rather than as Cantonese roast duck.<ref name="hnfour">Hainan provincial and tourism food writing consistently lists Wenchang Chicken, Jiaji (Jiaji) Duck, Dongshan Lamb, and Hele Crab as the island's "four famous dishes"; traditional service names include white-cut chicken/duck, white-juice goat, and steamed crab.</ref>

	== Characteristics ==		== Characteristics ==

	~~Meat is described as thick with~~ relatively thin skin ~~and~~ soft bones when properly raised~~; flavor~~ is ~~clean rather than heavily spiced~~, ~~similar~~ in dipping ~~style~~ to [[Wenchang Chicken]].		Local descriptions emphasize a meaty breast, relatively thin skin, soft bones when properly raised, and a clean, lightly fatty taste that is "rich without greasiness" when well prepared. Appearance of the live bird is often noted as distinct from common grass ducks: flatter body, red crest, yellow webs, and mixed black-and-white plumage in Muscovy-type (番鸭) stock associated with Jiaji rearing.<ref name="hifsa">[http://www.hifsa.cn/view_fwxm.asp?gid=23&nid=2669 Hainan food-safety / specialty note on Jiaji Duck (Qionghai)]</ref>

			Flavor is mild and dipping-driven—closer to Hainan white-cut poultry tradition shared with [[Wenchang Chicken]] than to soy-lacquered roast duck. Dips commonly combine ginger, garlic, vinegar or citrus notes, sesame oil, and salt or light chili paste; the poaching broth may also be sipped or used to season the condiments.

			Because both Jiaji Duck and [[Wenchang Chicken]] are white-cut icons, visitors sometimes blur them; locals distinguish by bird (duck vs chicken), town brand (Qionghai Jiaji vs Wenchang), and slightly different dip habits, while recognizing the shared Hainan preference for clean poaching over heavy marinade. Roast or pressed duck versions exist in Hainan restaurants, yet "four famous" rhetoric still defaults to white-cut Jiaji Duck when naming the set.

			Bone softness and thick breast meat are quality talking points in specialty articles; those traits are attributed to the confined late-stage fattening culture around Jiaji as much as to breed genetics. Treat rearing lore as foodway context, not as farm instruction.

	== Ingredients (overview) ==		== Ingredients (overview) ==

	Jiaji-~~breed~~ or ~~locally raised~~ duck, water for poaching, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, and salt for dips. ~~Force~~-feeding grain and ~~bean curd~~ is ~~traditionally mentioned in local accounts of rearing~~.		Typical components (encyclopedic overview, not a recipe): Jiaji-area or Muscovy-type duck; water and aromatics for poaching; ginger, vinegar or local sour citrus, sesame oil, garlic, and salt for dips. Local accounts of rearing mention early free-range feeding with small fish or invertebrates followed by a later confined fattening stage with cooked grain and mash; that is livestock culture context, not a cooking recipe.<ref name="hifsa" />

	== History and culture ==		== History and culture ==

	~~A regional identity dish~~ of ~~Qionghai~~ on [[Hainan Food]]; ~~often grouped with~~ white-cut Hainan ~~poultry tradition rather than Cantonese roast duck~~.		Jiaji Duck is tied to Qionghai's Jiaji town and the Wanquan River basin as a place-of-origin brand on [[Hainan Food]]. Oral tradition holds that Muscovy-type stock was introduced by overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia (often Malaysia in local telling) several centuries ago and then specialized through Jiaji feeding methods; present the introduction story as <b>attributed local history</b>, not as a dated archival import record.<ref name="hifsa" /><ref name="hnfour" />

			In twentieth-century Hainan banquet memory, white-cut Jiaji Duck sits beside white-cut [[Wenchang Chicken]], steamed [[Hele Crab]], and coconut- or clear-braised [[Dongshan Lamb]] as the classic "four famous" set served in hotels and hometown banquets. A later "ten famous dishes" tourism list still kept white-cut Jiaji Duck near the top, showing continuity of the name even as Hainan cuisine diversified.<ref name="hngov">[https://www.hainan.gov.cn/hainan/mstc/202403/9170507bf02e47468c91d679f999c999.shtml Hainan Provincial Government site: Qiongzhou food-era essay mentioning four famous / ten famous dishes]</ref>

	~~Chopped~~ and ~~dipped~~. ~~See [[~~Hainan ~~Food]]~~, ~~[[Wenchang Chicken]], [[Dongshan Lamb]], and [[Hele Crab]]~~.		Usually chopped after poaching and eaten with dips—family-style sharing. Restaurant menus may also list roast or pressed variants, but white-cut remains the reference form in "four famous" rhetoric. Outside Hainan, "Jiaji Duck" may be approximated with other Muscovy or meat ducks; authenticity talk centers on rearing locale as much as on the plate technique.
