Duck

Spicy, fragrant and wonderfully creamy, this beautiful red duck and lychee curry is perfect for a warming family dinner on a cooler evening.

There are many classic Chinese dishes that marry duck and sichuan pepper. In this recipe, the fresh-flavoured salad sets off the spicy union to perfection.

Barbecued duck and peking duck pancakes can be bought at Asian food shops. Note

If fresh plums are not available, use drained canned plums. Yellow rock sugar is available in Asian supermarkets; it has a richer, subtler flavour than granulated white sugar. It is used mainly for braises and sauces as it gives them a beautiful lustre and glaze. Note
