Cantonese Roast Duck Recipes

Ingredients

1 duck, about 5 pounds, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon salt
1 scallion
3 slices fresh ginger

Glaze:

1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Few sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. Thaw the duck, if frozen. Remove any excess fat, and rinse and pat dry
with paper towels. Rub the entire surface of the duck, inside and out,
with the salt. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or, overnight.

2. Put the scallion in the cavity and lay the slices of ginger on top of the duck.

Add at least 2 inches of water to a large flameproof roasting pan with a lid

and put the pan on the stove. Place a large rack in the roasting pan and boil

water. Choose an oval casserole large enough to hold the duck and small

enough to fit into the roasting pan.Place the duck in the casserole and then

put the casserole on the rack. Cover and steam for 1 hour, checking the water

level from time to time and adding more boiling water if necessary. Keep the duck

broth to use in soups or stir fry dishes. When done, remove the duck from the

casserole and place it on a rack to dry.

3. Combine the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. With

a pastry brush, paint the hot glaze over the surface of the duck. Allow duck to dry for 1 hour.

4. Preheat the oven to 375F. Roast the duck, breast side down, for 20 inutes. Turn over and

continue to roast for 40 more minutes.

5. Transfer duck to a chopping board and allow to cool slightly. Using a cleaver, disjoint and

cut the duck through the bone into bite size pieces. Arrange the pieces on a serving platter,

garnish with cilantro and serve.
