RED ROAST DUCK WITH BOK CHOY FONDUE

Steps:

• Put all liquid ingredients and sugar in a tall stock pot and bring to boil. Add duck and reduce heat. When boiling again, turn down to a simmer and skim. Add the rest of the remaining ingredients, except bok choy. Taste for seasoning. It should have an inherent sweetness to the liquid. If not, add more brown sugar. Simmer slowly for 2 to 3 hours, or until duck is very soft. For the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the bok choy. Carefully remove duck and bok choy. Strain the liquid and reduce until a light syrup is achieved. Glaze duck and garnish with sliced scallions.

RED ROAST PORK WITH SHANGHAI CABBAGE (DAD)

Steps:

• Put all liquid ingredients and sugar in a tall stockpot and bring to a boil. Add pork and reduce heat. When boiling again, turn down to a simmer and skim off the 'scum.' Add the rest of the remaining ingredients, except cabbage. Taste for seasoning; it should be fairly sweet. If not, add more brown sugar. Remember that the taste of the braising liquid will ultimately be the taste of the pork, so make sure it tastes good! Simmer slowly for 6 to 8 hours, or until pork is very soft. Carefully remove the pork, place it on a large platter and cover with foil to keep hot. Strain the liquid and reduce until a syrupy consistency is achieved, this will take 20 to 30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of reducing, add the cabbage to cook until soft. Place cabbage around the pork and glaze pork with reduction. Serve with side of sambal oelek.
