Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Canola oil to cook
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon fermented black beans
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1 cup red wine
1 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 whole roasted duck*

Steps:

In a large saute pan on medium heat coated with oil, saute garlic, ginger, black beans and scallions until soft. Add hoisin and stir for 2 minutes. Add red wine, soy sauce and sugar. Check for seasoning. Bring sauce to a boil then add roasted duck. Turn duck frequently to completely coat with sauce. Braise in sauce for 15 minutes then remove duck. Keep sauce on a low simmer. When duck is cool enough to touch, break down duck to small pieces. Add pieces back to the sauce, completely coat and serve immediately.

Tips:

- To achieve crispy skin, pat the duck dry thoroughly before cooking and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern. - For a more flavorful duck, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. - Cook the duck in a hot oven until the skin is golden brown and crispy, then reduce the heat and continue cooking until the duck is cooked through. - To make the twice-baked xang su ya sauce, simmer the ingredients in a saucepan until the sauce is thick and flavorful. - Serve the duck with the twice-baked xang su ya sauce, steamed rice, and your favorite vegetables.
