Print this Recipe
1 duck (6 to 7 pounds)
Water to cover
1/2 cup almonds
1 cup canned mushrooms
1 head Boston lettuce
2 eggs
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Oil for deep-frying
2 cups duck broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Disjoint and place in a heavy pan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, 40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile blanch, toast and sliver almonds. Drain canned mushrooms. Shred lettuce and arrange on a serving platter.
3. Drain duck, reserving liquid. Let bird cool slightly; then bone and cut meat in 1/2-inch squares, each with some skin. Skim fat off duck liquid.
4. Beat eggs lightly. Mix to a smooth batter with cornstarch, water, salt and pepper. Dip duck squares in batter to coat.
5. Heat oil. Add coated duck squares, a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling. Arrange on lettuce bed.
6. Reheat duck broth. Add canned mushrooms and remaining salt and pepper. Meanwhile blend remaining cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in to thicken. Pour sauce over duck squares and serve, garnished with almonds.
VARIATION:
* Leave the duck whole. In step 1, add to pan 1/2 tablespoon salt; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 scallion; 2 slices fresh ginger root; 1 garlic clove, crushed; and 2 cloves star anise. Simmer 1 1/2 hours. Drain and cool; then chop bird, bones and all, in 2-inch sections. Dry and deep-fry without batter. Serve hot with a pepper-salt mix (see Seasonings and Sauces, Basic Pepper-Salt Mix).
