Guangxi Braised Goose with Garlic Leaves and Celery

My family is from Guangxi, and this braised goose with garlic leaves and celery is one of my sister’s dishes for our annual Reunion Dinner. Just like American Thanksgiving dinners started with a live turkey, in China, we still start with a live goose. The goose is killed, plucked, cleaned, then cooked in hot water until its muscles become firm. Then we cut the goose meat. Of course, you can cut the pieces however you like. Then she braises the goose with garlic leaves, wine, and celery for a delicious meal.
