Braised Duck

ingredients

1 duck
1 packet of 5 spice powder
salt equal to volume of 5 spice powder
1 bottle of semi-premium grade dark soy sauce (Tai Hua Brand)
1 handful of sugar

method

marinating

wash duck thoroughly making sure bits of the head is cleaned (if you want to keep head)
mix spice powder and salt together
smear mixture evenly inside and outside duck
put duck in a plastic bag and tie up
bung into fridge (not freezer) and leave for 3 to 4 days

cooking

rinse duck (not wash.. just rinse most of the marinate off) not too thorough
melt sugar in wok until it starts to turn into a black treacly mess
pour about 3/4 of the soy sauce and dissolve the sugar
heat until sauce starts to simmer
put duck in and keeps scooping the black sauce over the duck
turn over every 15 minutes and keep basting the duck
when the duck turns golden brown, fill wok with water until most of duck is covered
keep turning over duck every 15 minutes, taking care not to burn it (best put a small steel rack to elevate the duck from contact with bottom of the wok)
keep simmering until cooked (about 2 hours)

voila! braised duck!
