Peking Duck

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Take a duck and wash and dry thoroughly.  Put a suitable “hanger” in
the back end to hold it up for a day.

In a Wok, put 4 pints (UK) of water, one sliced lemon, 1/2 cup light
Soy Sauce, 2 tablespoons runny honey, 2 teaspoons salt and 1
tablespoon Hoi Sin sauce.  Bring this to a fierce boil and keep it there.

Hold the duck by its hanger over the Wok and baste with ladles of the
boiling liquor until the skin is taught and the colour looks
appealing.  Hang the duck in a cold, draughty (drafty US? ;) ) place for 24hrs.

Heat your oven to gas 8 – whatever that equates to as °C or °F.  Put
the duck on a rack over a roasting tin half filled with water and
cook for 20 mins. at that temperature then reduce the temp. to gas 6
(or ° equivs).  A 4lb bird should take about 2.5 hours in total and
you should end up with a fat free, crisp skin duck with an excellent
flavour.  Don’t forget to let the bird rest for about 20mins after
removing from the oven.
