You (or Zhou) left out the part about separating the skin from the flesh, so that the fat will render more easily and the skin will crisp better. Bob |

Hey Michael, This sounds like a neat recipe. I've never made Peking Duck. Only thing I'm wondering about, since I'm practicing with my Wok, is filling it with water. I thought that wasn't a good thing to do (after all the seasonings and all) - guess a deep pot might work too??? Elaine |

The cookbook author can be more confident that a large wok will be big enough because of its shape. As to the wok's seasoning, this won't hurt it. After it's been washed and dried, just look at it, and if it seems to need a bit of oil, reheat the wok and wipe on the oil. After all, we make soup in woks, too, sometimes, and long-simmering braises. The question is just what pan, pot, or wok fits whatever you're making. -aem |

The traditional style I always found back in Ohio and east to NY were thickesh patties where all ingredients except the gravy were contained in the patty, and served with a brown gravy. What I've found here in AZ has been a variety of preparations. Most often, the dish appears with several patties of egg, a small amount of beansprouts and maybe bamboo shoots, the patties then covered up with a heaping amount of whatever variety one ordered, such as vegetable or shrimp or pork with vegetables. It's almost as though one had ordered another main dish item which was poured over the patties, and the patties contained next to nothing. Then there is the scrambled version, where what would ordinarily be the content of the patties is prepared like scrambled eggs, often with no gravy but occasionally a bit of gravy poured over. One other version I was served was a very thin patty with most of the traditional ingredients mixed in, but it was only about 1/4" thick and was so large it overlapped the serving platter. Gravy was served on the side. I'm so thankful I found this place last Friday! -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.

I love the stuff. > > Michael <- snugging with Missy and Shelly snacking on Cheese corn Michael, This is off the cuff so I may leave something out or get the amounts wrong. Since we don't really have a recipe for it, you'll have to adjust accordingly if I say something totally out of whack. 5-6lb pork roast (We use whatever we have on hand) Fresh Hatch green chili (use as much or as little you like.) (We use Hatch green chilies since we visit the In-laws every September and roast and peal a bunch of them.) 1-2 Tablespoons of flour. S&P to taste Garlic (depends on how much chili you use) 1. Cube the roast to the size you like. 2. Throw in large pot over med-high heat and sprinkle the flour over meat and stir. S&P to taste. I add a little bit of fresh garlic to the meat but that's just me. 3. While the meat is browning and getting to at least medium rare, dice up the green chili and mix with garlic. The garlic does something to the chili but I couldn't begin to tell you what and the wife isn't here to ask. 4. After the meat is cooked, fill the pot with water. You could use beef stock if you want but I've never tried it. 5. Add the chili verde (green chilies) and let it simmer a while. We usually let it simmer for about an hour. The result *should* be somewhat thicker than watery but not really as thick as a stew. That's it. A nice quick, simple, one-pot recipe that doesn't require a degree from the CIA. My wife learned it from her mom (and the MIL can cook!) who learned it from her mom who...Well, you get the drift. There aren't a lot of ingredients but you'll be amazed at the flavor. Oh, one other thing. No two batches will ever taste quite the same obviously, but more importantly, the heat levels will never be the same. You can make one batch that makes you think you made it with green bell peppers and the next batch will take the enamel off your teeth. LOL. This is a proud moment for me. This is my first recipe, if you can call it that, that I've ever posted to RFC! Let me know what you think.

I'm with you, Wayne. Roast duck I'll try at home. Peking Duck I leave
to those who know what they're doing. Fortunately, I have a restaurant near home that makes very good Peking Duck. Melissa |

The most beautifully prepared and deliciouis rost duck I've ever been served dates back to a birthday dinner in the 1970's. The half duckling was completely boned including breast, thigh, leg, etc. The skin was wonderfully crisp and was glazed with a brandy and fresh morello cherry sauce, accompanied with a generous amount of plump morellos. I'll never forget it, and I won't try to duplicate it. I don't think I could. :-( -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.

Cut down the following recipe in proportion to the amount of duck you have left: Spicy Shredded Duck Salad (from _Chopstix_) SALAD 1 Chinese roast duck 12 ounces spinach leaves 1 cup shredded carrots 1 cup shredded red cabbage 1/2 cup slivered almonds 4 cups cooking oil (for deep-frying) 2 ounces rice sticks DRESSING 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 2 tablespoons Oriental sesame oil 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce 1 teaspoon Chinese chili sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons finely minced ginger 2 cloves finely minced garlic ADVANCE PREPARATION: Remove all the meat from the duck and discard the skin. Shred the duck meat. Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach, then bunch together and cut into very thin slivers. Set out the carrots and cabbage. Roast the almonds in a 325°F oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet set over medium-high heat to 375°F. Test with a strand of rice stick; it will puff up immediately when the oil is ready. Add a small number of rice sticks at a time. As soon as they expand, in about 5 seconds, turn the rice sticks over with chopsticks or tongs and push them back into the hot oil to cook for 5 more seconds. Drain on paper towels while you fry the remaining rice sticks. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and mix well. LAST-MINUTE ASSEMBLING: Place all the salad ingredients except the rice sticks in a very large salad bowl. Shake the dressing and add half to the salad. Toss immediately. Gently fold in the rice sticks, being careful not to crush them. Taste the salad and add more dressing for a more pronounced flavor, but be careful that the rice sticks do not become soggy. Serve at once. Serves 4 as an entrée, or 6 to 8 as a salad course Bob |
