This year, Cantonese Duck was the feature.
After the duck was cleaned and pierced all over with a fork, it was plunged into hot boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then dried well.
Sauce for the duck.
- 2 T Hoisin
- 2 tsp 5 Spice Powder
- 2 T fresh Ginger
- 1 chopped Shallot
- 1-2 T Sherry
- 3T Honey
- 3 T Soya sauce
- 1 c Water
Combine ingredients, heat to combine all the ingredients, then spread on the duck and repeated every hour until the skin has dried out.
Reduce the reminder of the sauce to serve with the duck
Preheat oven to 500 degrees, roast the duck on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes, then reduce to 325 and bake until crisp
Long Life Noodles were again prepared for this meal as this is a delicious and easy recipe.
Since it is the Year of the Dog, I decided to make a dog shaped out of Sushi Rice that sat on a Asian flavoured coleslaw.

The challenge of this meal was to make and use the correct sauce for each dish prepared. Although the sauces were so close in taste, I'm sure one wouldn't notice!
The girls loved the sushi shaped dog and did recognize it as a dog!
Stir Fry Bok Choy
- 2 T oil
- 2 ch garlic
- 1 T ginger
- hot pepper flakes
- Bok Choy
- 1 T Soya
- 1 T Water
- 1 -2 T Sesame Seed Oil
Heat oil, add pepper flakes and garlic. Watch that it does not burn. add Bok Choy, soya sauce and water
Cook for 2 minutes, covered, then uncovered and cook until fork tender
Drizzle with Sesame Seed oil
This is a quick way to do any Chinese greens and can also be done in the oven!
Special Japanese cups always makes Green Tea special!
And for dessert, the girls helped me make Strawberry Mochi (Ichigo Daifuku),
