White Simmered Duck Ii Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saute pan on medium heat coated with oil, saute garlic, ginger, black beans and scallions until soft. Add hoisin and stir for 2 minutes. Add red wine, soy sauce and sugar. Check for seasoning. Bring sauce to a boil then add roasted duck. Turn duck frequently to completely coat with sauce. Braise in sauce for 15 minutes then remove duck. Keep sauce on a low simmer. When duck is cool enough to touch, break down duck to small pieces. Add pieces back to the sauce, completely coat and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Rub sherry into its skin, then salt and ground star anise. Let stand 1 hour. 2. Cut scallion stalk in 2 or 3 sections and slice ginger root put inside duck cavity. Place bird in a large heavy pan and add remaining sherry. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, 2 hours. 3. Drain and let cool then refrigerate. Chop duck, bones and all, in bite-size pieces. Trim roots off remaining scallions and use whole as a garnish. Serve cold.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wipe duck with a damp cloth, then dry well with paper toweling. Truss duck (see HOW-TO, _Poultry: To truss). 2. Place duck on a rack over a drip pan containing several inches of water. Roast until lightly browned (about 20 minutes). 3. Transfer duck to a heavy pan. Mince ginger root and add with water and salt. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered, 1 hour. (If duck becomes too dry, add more boiling water.) Skim off fat. 4. Cut Chinese cabbage stems in 2-inch pieces. Place on top of duck and simmer 1 hour more. NOTE: If the dish is prepared through step 3, then refrigerated, the fat will congeal and can be removed easily. The duck is then reheated and the cabbage added as in step 4.

Steps:

• 1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Place in a large heavy pan. Cut scallions in 2-inch sections slice ginger root and divide in two parts. Place half at bottom of pan, half in duck cavity. 2. Add to pan ground anise, sugar, sherry, soy sauce and water. Bring to a boil. Then simmer, covered, 1 1/2 hours, turning duck 2 or 3 times. (Be careful not to puncture skin.) 3. Drain duck, reserving liquid. Let bird dry on a rack in a cool, airy place about 5 hours. 4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place duck, breast-side down, on a rack over a drip pan containing several inches of water. Roast 15 minutes. Turn bird over and roast until crisp and golden (about 10 minutes more). 5. Let cool slightly then carve, so each slice has some crisp skin. Reheat reserved liquid and pour over. Serve duck hot with a dip dish of hoisin sauce. NOTE: Because of its crisp skin, this dish is sometimes called "Pseudo Peking Duck." The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.

Steps:

• Heat a small saucepan (one with a lid) on a medium heat. Season the breast, lay it skin side down in the pan and reduce the heat to the lowest it will go. Leave to sizzle for about 15 minutes, uncovered, until the skin is golden and crisp and has rendered most of its fat. Don't shake the pan or move the duck.
• Remove the duck (the meat side will be raw). Pour out just over half the fat (save it for frying vegetables another time) and turn up the heat slightly. Add the bacon and fry for 2-3 minutes until starting to crisp. Add the potato, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato looks sticky and has just started to brown at the edges.
• Tip in the cabbage and stir until glossy, then pour in the stock. Nestle the duck, skin side up, among the cabbage and potato and cover the pan. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until the veg is tender and the duck cooked. Remove the duck from the pan and stir in the parsley and garlic. To serve, spoon the veg, bacon and juice on to a plate and sit the duck on top. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy the flavours of autumn.

Steps:

• 1. Soak dried mushrooms. 2. Wipe duck with a damp cloth. Place in a large heavy pan with water and bring to a boil. Skim off fat. 3. Meanwhile slice bamboo shoots and ginger root. Add to pan, along with smoked ham (in one piece) and soaked mushrooms. 4. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered, until duck is tender (2 to 2 1/2 hours). Add salt and simmer 5 minutes more. 5. Remove duck, ham and vegetables. Let ham cool slightly then slice. Place duck in a deep bowl. Lay ham slices over its breast. Garnish with vegetables. 6. Reheat soup. Add to bowl and serve. VARIATION: * In step 4, during the last 30 minutes of cooking, add 2 pounds Chinese lettuce, cut in 1-inch strips. In step 5 place lettuce at the bottom of the bowl, with the duck, vegetables and ham on top. Then pick up step 6. The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.
