ARP

1 duck (about 7 pounds)
The same amount of skinned potatoes
A cake of Chinese red cheese
1 small piece of ginger, pounded
¼ cup Fun Wine
A piece of green carrot

(a) Put the duck into an oiled frying-pan and fry until brown. Turn frequently, so that every part of the duck receives the same amount of heat.

(b) Add the ginger and Fun Wine and fry for 2 minutes. Take out and put into a bowl. The liquid left in the frying-pan is to be put into a separate bowl.

(c) Add 2 cups of water to the cheese and mash. Rub this well into the duck, inside and outside.

(d) Put the potatoes into the cooking-pan. Place the duck on top. Add enough water to cover all. Over this pour any cheese liquid which remains. Add the carrot.

(e) Cover the pan and cook until tender.
