1 lb Lean ground pork
10 Waterchestnuts; coarsely

2 tb Chinese rice wine

Cut the duck and soak it in fresh water for 2 hours. Change the water and
bring to a simmer. Immediately turn off the stove and leave the duck,
covered, in the water for 1/2 hour. Drain and discard the water. Place all
the ingredients, except the duck, into a bowl and mix well. Place in a
steaming bowl or glass pie plate. Top with the duck slices. Steam in a
bamboo steamer for 30 minutes.

Comments: The richness of the dried duck invades the pork in this dish. It
is common food in Hong Kong, but very uncommon in this country. You might
have to get used to the "cured" flavor of the dried duck.
