Title: Red-Cooked Duck with Five Spices
Categories: Poultry
Yield: 4 Servings

3/4 c Soy sauce
3/4 c Sherry
1 Duck; 3 to 4 pounds
1 ts Five spices
Water

1. Slowly bring soy sauce and sherry to a boil in a heavy pan. Meanwhile
wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth, then add to pan. Cook, turning
to color evenly (about 2 minutes on each side).

2. Remove duck, leaving liquids in pan. Rub Five Spices into skin; then
return bird to pan.

3. Add enough cold water to half cover duck. Bring to a boil; then simmer,
covered, about 1 hour, turning bird at 20-minute intervals for even cooking
and coloring.

4. With a cleaver, chop duck, bones and all, in 2-inch sections; or carve,
Western-style. Serve hot or cold.
