MUSHI AHIRU
(Baked Duck)
Clean and singe the duck and wash in lukewarm water, then wipe dry with a clean
cloth. Rub well with salt. Cut in pieces, and dip each piece of the duck in a
batter made of kudzu starch and eggs. Make the batter of about the thickness of
fritters. Lay these in a pan that has been oiled, and bake in a slow oven for
two hours. Make a gravy by chopping the giblets very fine and putting them in a
pot with a cupful of water, a cupful of syou sauce, salt and pepper, and a
teaspoonful of sugar. Boil slowly while the duck is baking. Place the duck,
which should be well browned, on a platter, then pour over it the gravy and
garnish with orange or lemon peel, grated.
