We love duck, but it isn’t the easiest thing to prepare and have it turn out to be moist and tender.  After doing some research, we found that either simmering or steaming the duck, prior to roasting it, renders out the fat and produces a moist duck with crispy skin.  We decided to go with an Asian influenced recipe and the flavor couldn’t have been more delicious.  It took a little work, but really wasn’t too difficult and well worth the effort.  We adapted our recipe from one that we found from Tyler Florence, which called for the duck to be steamed and, based on the results, we’ll use this method every time going forward.  This recipe turned out to be extremely tasty and one that we hope that you’ll enjoy.
