Servings: persons

1 duck, 4 to 5 pounds
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Shao Xing rice wine or dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick, about 3 inches long
5 or 6 nickle-size slices ginger
4 pieces whole star anise
2 cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1
Cut duck as you would a chicken, into 6 or 8 serving pieces; discard wing tips, back and neck, or reserve to make stock.
2
Place duck, skin side down, in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
3
When duck begins to sizzle, cover skillet and turn heat to medium.
4
After 15 minutes, turn duck and season skin side.
5
After 15 more minutes, uncover skillet and turn heat to medium-high.
6
Cook duck, turning as necessary, so that it browns nicely on both sides; this will take another 15 minutes or so.
7
Remove duck to a plate and pour off all but a tablespoon of fat; leave any solids in pan.
8
Over medium-high heat, add rice wine and bring to a boil.
9
Add soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water and bring to a boil; stir in remaining ingredients.
10
Once mixture starts bubbling, return duck to skillet and cook, turning it frequently until sauce is thick and duck is well-glazed, 5 to 10 minutes.
11
Remove duck, then scoop solid spices out of sauce.
12
Spoon sauce over duck and serve.
