Handy Chinese Tricks For Cooking A Whole Duck

Instructions:
This is an article from the San Francisco Chronicle by Bruce Cost
about the Chinese philosophy of cooking duck.
Cooking a duck can be intimidating to home cooks. Unlike chicken,
there's a layer of fat that can cause problems. When duck is simply
roasted, it often cooks unevenly, leaving a lot of excess fat. In
addition, much of the potentially delicious skin is discarded.
Chinese cooks solve these problems by applying two or more cooking
methods to melt away most of the fat while enhancing the flavor of
the meat. As a bonus, this technique can produce duck skin that is
succulently crisp.
For example, a duck may be seasoned and hung overnight in a cool, airy
place, then steamed, perhaps smoked, and finally fried to a golden
brown. Or, a duck may be browned over high heat in a wok full of oil
(which melts away some of the fat), drained, and finally simmered in
a wine/soy/rock sugar sauce, which is reduced at the end of the
cooking time to a syrupy glaze. Sometimes just the skin is stuffed
with boned duck meat, which has been mixed with glutinous rice or
barley, mushrooms, Chinese dates, lotus seeds and ham; then the whole
thing is steamed. The famous Peking Duck, which many rank as one of
the world's greatest dishes, begins by easing the skin away from the
meat then pumping in air so the whole duck inflates like a balloon.
The duck then is scalded in a honey-vinegar mixture and hung
overnight to dry before being cooked. This dish is not a good choice
for the home cook because the duck is best roasted suspended in a
special clay-lined oven. The lacquered-looking ducks that hang in
Chinese delicatessens, sometimes mistakenly thought to be Peking
ducks, actually are Cantonese roast ducks. After basting the skins
and hanging the ducks overnight, they are roasted to golden brown
perfection ++ a sauce of five-spices, star anise, wine and garlic
simmering in their cavities. For not much more than the price of an
uncooked duck, these, by the half or whole, make excellent take-out
food.
The method that follows for making Sichuan Crispy Skin Duck is
typical of Chinese duck cookery. It requires a few steps over a
couple of days, and two cooking procedures, but it's not difficult -
although frying a whole duck in a wok full of oil may be a new
experience.
