Roast Duck Method
First thing to do is to remove
any excess fat from the duck and rinse and pat dry with paper
towels. Rub the entire surface of the duck inside and out
with the salt then cover and refrigerate for several hours
or overnight. Put the scallion inside the duck and lay the
slices of ginger on top of the duck. In a large flameproof
roasting pan with a lid add 2 inches of water and put it on
the stove. Put a large rack in the roasting pan and bring
the water to a boil. Take a large oval casserole dish one
that will hold the duck but will fit in the roasting pan then
place the duck in the casserole and then put the casserole
on the rack. Cover and steam for 1 hour checking the water
level from time to time and adding more boiling water if necessary.
When the duck has cooked remove it from the casserole dish
and place it on a rack to dry. In a small saucepan combine
the ingredients for the glaze and bring to a boil then with
a pastry brush paint the hot glaze over the surface of the
duck. Allow the duck to dry for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to
375 degrees and then put the roast duck breast side down in
the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Turn over and continue
to roast for 40 minutes. Transfer the Cantonese Roast Duck
to a chopping board and allow to cool slightly. Using a cleaver
disjoint and cut the Cantonese Roast Duck through the bone
into bite size pieces. Arrange the Cantonese Roast Duck pieces
on a serving platter and garnish with cilantro and serve.

Roast Duck!
