The duck skin is very dry when you put it into the oven. Therefore, the duck need to be dried first, the minimum time span is overnight to 1 day or 2/3 days like Beijing recipes.
 
In order to have crunchy & shiny brown skin, malt is a compulsory ingredient. Eventhough, honey, molasses or jaggery can be used as substitutes; the final result will not be as good as using malt (melted sugar).

Ingredients:

A duck (1 – 1.2 kg)

Spices for the inside

 

1 tablespoon of mashed garlic (15-20gr)
1 tablespoon of mashed dried onions (15-20gr)
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
1.5 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of five-spice powder
1 steaspoon of grinded pepper
1 tablespoon of sugar
 

Spices for the outside

3 tablespoons of malt
1 tablespoon of boiled water
1.5 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of ginger powder (or 2 spoons of mashed ginger)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder (or 2 spoons of mashed garlic)
2 teaspoons of vinegar
1 teaspoon of salt

Processes:

Step 1: Get the duck cleaned. Smash some ginger and mix with white wine. Use this to rub through inside & outside the duck (wait for 20 – 25 mins to let all the smelling goes away). Clean it with cool water then dry it inside out. If the skin is torn, you can use white thread to sew, the more stretching the skin is, the better it gets when we roast it.

The making of this food is quite difficult, so I suggest the best way is go to the supermarket and buy one.
 

 

*** Southern Area, Vietnam:

1) Pickled Bean Sprouts (Dưa Giá):

This Traditional Vietnamese Food is an unforgettable food of southern residents. It is more delicious if you eat it with stewed meat or girdled-cake. In Luna New Year’s Day, every food is fatty and oily, so pickled bean sprouts are a food that balances them.
 

 

2) Pickled Chinese Scallion (Củ Kiệu):

You can buy pickled scallion heads everywhere like supermarket, store, but I think making it by yourself is better. Firstly, mashing it in the ash water for one night, next clean and take away the roots and leaves. Then, drying them for next 4 hours and then chilling it with sugar. Finally put them in the pot for next 10 days. To make them is more colorful and beautiful; you can add some dried carrot.
