Wor Shu [pressed] Duck
so we're talking about duck tonight and I say I've cooked it a few
times, and eaten it in restaurants a few times-- and I've never wanted to try it again And my wife remembers something that 'sounds like wa suh duck' that she had and she like it. I think this is it- http://www.mangerati.com/steamed-dee...d-pressed-duck Aside from deboning a hot duck so it retains its shape, it looks pretty simple-- and might remove enough of the duck flavor and texture for me to enjoy it. I'm not having any youtube luck-- all the deboning videos I see cut the duck, and I'm thinking that after a couple hours of steaming the bones should come out through the cavity. Any advice? I wonder if I can [or dare to] buy a steamed and de-boned duck from the Asian market? Jim |

Not all recipes call for keeping the duck whole, although that makes for great presentation. I have no advice on how to do that, sadly. Boron |

Though I made it earlier in the day because I don't like it hot, and the later in the day it gets, the less I want to cook right now. Mmhhhmmm... cold fried chicken. |

If I lived alone or cooked for one I'd never consider eating duck again. There sure are lots of other foods I *do* like. But-- when someone you cook for says they like something--- and it looks like you might be able to live with that presentation- then I say, go for it. > >Or a lettuce. OTOH-- most of the folks I cook for don't like lettuce, yet I serve it often and they works around it. Jim |

I just ate cold fried chicken, with cold mashed up carrots that I had spooned onto some of the oily crispies from the frying pan. If you fry much, you really should consider buying high oleic sunflower oil. It is the most neutral oil I've found, and on par for healthfulness with olive oil. --Bryan |

I normally use Canola oil which is supposed to be on par with olive oil. I've never noticed a taste from that. From your research, is Canola oil as healthy? (not that I really care all that much...I'll still use it!) G. |
