the Bear SG oh yeah.. rinse the duck, inside and outside.. DO NOT WASH the duck.. just rinse the spice away
Fatum SG suddenly remember something about the duck .... I wonder if bear cooked the gizzards too ? ... the heart is one of the best bit eh ? ....
Rhonda SG Nope... cause the five-spice powder on the duck skin will burn and become chao tar! BTW, five-spice powder burns very easily. That's probably the reason why you have to rinse it.
Rhonda SG Ah Bear's 3kg duck was for his pot luck in his office today with a lotta lotta folks, wor!! If we have a small gathering, don't think that we can finish a 3kg duck!
the Bear SG wrong the spice is not soluble and will turn the gravy very "sandy" and yes.. it'll work for a goose.. same recipe.. braised goose.. however, you need to allow the spices to do their magic for a longer time.. maybe around 5 to 6 days.. and use a fork to stab at the thicker parts of the flesh.. and a huge pot.. allow about 3 to 3 1/2 hours of cooking
