Ingredients for Pan-Roasted Duck

– 2kg duck

– 15g shallots

– 50g ginger

– 15g garlic

– 10g star anise

– 10g cloves

– 1 lemon

– 4 stalks lemongrass

– 15g scallions

Preparation of Pan-Roasted Duck

Step 1: Duck Preparation

After plucking the duck clean, use a knife to cut a small slit above the duck’s crop. Remove the entrails without cutting open the entire belly. Slice the ginger into thin pieces and divide it into three equal portions. Crush one portion of the ginger with a pestle.

Combine the crushed ginger with salt, white wine, and rub this mixture all over the duck for about 5 minutes to eliminate any foul smell, fishy odor, and dirt. Rinse the duck with cold water and pat it dry.

Step 2: Marination

In a bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of five-spice powder. Finely chop the garlic and shallots and divide them into two equal portions.

Add one-half of the chopped garlic and shallots to the bowl of spices. Turn the duck over and stuff the cavity with this spice mixture. Tightly roll the scallions and push them deep into the duck’s cavity.

Place a few slices of the chopped ginger inside the duck, and then use a skewer to tightly seal the duck’s belly to prevent the sauce from leaking into the cavity, preserving the sweet taste of the meat.

Step 3: Sauce Preparation

Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and shallots, sautéing until they turn golden and fragrant. Then, pour in 5 tablespoons of water.

Add 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce to the pan and stir well. Once the mixture boils, turn off the heat and pour the sauce into a bowl.

Step 4: Duck Boiling

In a separate bowl, mix 200ml of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, and 1/2 tube of shrimp color. Stir well.

Using a pestle, lightly crush the lemongrass and cut it into 5-7cm long pieces. Prepare a large pan and add the lemongrass, sliced ginger, chopped shallots, star anise, and cloves. Pour in the freshly mixed spices and 1.5 liters of water.

Turn on the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low and place the duck in the pan. Boil the duck for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Remove the duck from the pan, allowing it to drain and cool.

Step 5: Final Product

The roasted duck is now ready to be served. It has absorbed all the flavors, resulting in tender meat and a crispy skin that is not dry. Enjoy this delicious dish with the specially prepared dipping sauce for a satisfying meal.
