Glaze:
1 tablespoon light corn
syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Few sprigs fresh cilantro,
for garnish
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 bring
the water to a boil. 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. Save 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 minutes.
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.
