Chronicles of Making a Braised Duck
-
in pictures too
Step 1
Get a big duck, clean it thoroughly not forgetting the nostrils, beak and ear-holes..
Step 2
Get some 5-spice powder
Step 3
Get an equal amount of salt as the 5-spice powder
Step 4
Mix the stuff together
Step 5
Rub the mixture all over the duck
Step 6
Inside the duck too. Then tuck in the bits like the head, the wings and feet.
Step 7
Place in clean plastic bag, tie up and place in fridge for the next few days (3 to 5 days)
... to be continued in a few days' time when the Bear starts cooking it
-
Three to five days....
The smell will surely soak in the duck. -
Have never seen raw duck so, it was quite an eye-opener!
Raw chickens are everywhere but raw ducks are a pretty rare sight!
Thanks for the detailed step-by-step instructions and photos! Can't wait for Part II! -
Wah, looks good!

U noe, if my grandma is still rearing ducks, chickens, peacocks, together with her veggie farm, we would have a feast now and then

the way they used to do it in the old day's very slow ...Originally posted by laurence82:i couldnt bear to do it man, seriously
they'll slice the bird's neck and then tuck it underneath one of then wings ...
the hapless bird will flap around until it's life's drained away ...
wonder why they didn't just go "tok" with a chopper though ? ... -
it's for the blood to drain out...Originally posted by Fatum:the way they used to do it in the old day's very slow ...

Actually, if you eat duck rice or duck noodles, you'll notice that they hang their ducks with the necks and heads and beaks still intact! -

Eh, what SARS?
-
chap must have meant bird flu ....
but I don't care now anymore ...
there's mad cow in cows, which came from gound up sheep, and too much hormones in milk, there's bird flu in poultry, and there's even foot and mouth among pigs, there's heavy metals in seafood, and too much pesticides in cheap, non-organically grown veggies, and now boffins are tinkering with GM modifications to rice and stuff .... what IS safe to eat then ? ...

I think the modern way of killing chicken is more cruel than in the past.Originally posted by mystiv:sounds rather cruel. let the chicken suffer so long

they boil the chicken alive to make it easy to pluck the feathers. -
3-5 days! That's like a week to cook something that is consumed in a few hours
-
I love to eat duck
I thought it's very common to see a duck with the head and all -
I think I become vegetarian...
