Chinese Barbecued Duck Soup Recipes

HOISIN BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Remove and discard, or use for other purposes, the neck, giblets and any excess fat from either end of the duck; prick the duck skin all over with a small knife, going sideways and DON'T go through to the meat and pay special attention to the fattier areas of the breasts - you want to get as much fat out as possible during the boiling time.
• Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the duck (I placed the duck in the pot, filled with water, removed the duck and then placed the pot over the burner to heat); bring the water to a boil and then carefully lower the duck into the water and push it down (wooden spoons are good here); bring the water back to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the duck for 15 minutes.
• Place a long handled spoon into the duck cavity and lift carefully, letting the cavity water drain into the pot, then place the duck onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat dry, inside and out.
• Season the duck with the salt and pepper, inside and out; bend back the wings and tie the legs together with twine.
• Grill over indirect high heat (see my comments in my description) for 45 minutes (less if you like your duck rare); brush the duck all over with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and continue grilling until the skin is dark brown, about 10-15 minutes, watch carefully as the duck can brown pretty fast with the hoisin sauce on it.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve warm with remaining hoisin sauce -- we used a lot more sauce during the serving time!
• This is great with scallion cakes or you could also make a sort of 'peking duck' out of this with some mandarin pancakes, hoisin sauce and sliced green onions.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork, particularly around the breast. Combine the hoisin, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, chili oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer slowly for 5 minutes. Place the duck in a shallow dish, add half of the hoisin mixture and turn to coat well. Marinate several hours or overnight, turning the duck frequently.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Discard the marinade from the duck. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and prick the duck again.
• Continue roasting, uncovered, until the juices run slightly pink when pricked in the thickest part of the thigh, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir the orange juice into the remaining hoisin mixture. Carve the duck and serve, passing the sauce for dipping.

DUCK SOUP, CHINESE STYLE

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup warm water for about 1/2 hour.
• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer and add the mushrooms and the water in which they were soaked.
• Add the pepper, greens and bones.
• Simmer for 1 hour.
• Drain the stock and discard all solids except the mushrooms.
• Cut the mushrooms julienne and return to the stockpot.
• Add the green onions, sesame oil and cooked duck meat, and taste for salt.
• Drop the noodles into the pot and simmer until they are just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place the soup in a tureen and add the shelled raw egg, whole. It will cook on the way to the table.
• Add the parsley garnish.
• Stir the egg into the soup at the table.

LEE REMICK'S BARBECUED CHINESE DUCK

Steps:

• Trim excess fat and skin from the duck breasts. Combine the sherry, sugar, soy sauce, ginger and mustard and pour over the duck. Marinate several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Drain the duck and reserve the marinade. Grill for 20 to 25 minutes over medium heat, turning and moving duck to avoid flare-ups while basting frequently.
• Allow the duck to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
