Fairy Duck Recipe

 

cooking time: 4 hours

 

Ingredients

  • 1 fat duck

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 tablespoons Chinese wine (or sherry)

  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

  • 3-4 spring onions, cut in 1 1/2 inch lengths

  • 3-4 slices fresh ginger

  • stock (or water)

  • 57 grams ham Chinese (if possible), sliced cooked

  • 57 grams bamboo shoots, sliced

Method

 

1. Clean duck, wash, dry on a cloth and rub with salt and pepper.
2. Mix wine with ginger, rub the mixture all over duck and leave to stand for 1 hour.
3. Put duck in a braising pan or an oven dish with a tightly fitting lid.
4. Add all its dressing, onions and ginger. Add enough light stock just to cover the bird.
5. Check seasoning, allowing both for dilution of the original dressing and for the salt content in the stock.

6. Bring to the boil, then cook gently either on a low heat or in a slow oven for 4 hrs.

7. Add ham cut into uniform-sized pieces and bamboo shoots. Cook for 10 minutes.
