Ingredients
- 2 kg duck
- 90g blue ginger (南 姜)
- 7g cinnamon (肉 桂)
- 5g star anise (八 角)
- 50g sugar
- 2 tablespoon black soya sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 500ml water
Instructions
- 1. Rub the whole duck (including the head and tongue and clear all the organs) inside out with salt and rinse away the salt with water. Note: Some ducks may have wax. So got to make sure that the wax is removed too while washing.
- 2. Fold the wings and legs inward for easy braising.
- 3. Turn on small fire to fry the black soya sauce and sugar. If is too dry, add 2 tablespoon of water. Stir fry till it melt.
- 4. Add in the blue ginger, cinnamon and star anise. Stir fry for about 5mins.
- 5. Put in the duck and let it simmer for 5mins.
- 6. Add water and salt (at least half of the duck must be covered with water) into the wok and let it simmer for about 10mins.
- 7. Shower the duck (inside out) with the gravy until it is coated with black sauce evenly.
- 8. In order to have a uniform brown colour duck, continue to simmer and turn the duck every 15 minutes for the next one and a half hour.
- 9. To test whether the duck has been cooked, simply poke a chopstick into the thigh and the breast meat. If the chopstick goes through the meat without much effort, it means the duck has been cooked.
