I felt like it would be nice to repost a recipe I wrote last night in a comment elsewhere. It is not hard or complicated to make this way. Sorry that I do not have any pictures. It looks like light duck meat.

  • Drain and soak a nice duck with organs removed (makes good side dishes)

  • Dry

  • Rub with a lot of roasted huajiao and salt all over the interior and exterior

  • Refrigerate for a day

  • Put a spring onion in the cavity

  • Put star anise, spring onion, four to six slices of ginger, two or three cloves, at least a large spoon of salt in a big pot to boil with enough water to cover the duck

  • Put in the duck when boiled and simmer for 30 minutes with lid

  • Turn off the heat and allow it to cool for a long time

  • Refrigerate for 5 hours

  • Chop and serve
