I felt like it would be nice to repost a recipe I wrote last night in a comment elsewhere. It is not hard or complicated to make this way. Sorry that I do not have any pictures. It looks like light duck meat.
-
Drain and soak a nice duck with organs removed (makes good side dishes)
-
Dry
-
Rub with a lot of roasted huajiao and salt all over the interior and exterior
-
Refrigerate for a day
-
Put a spring onion in the cavity
-
Put star anise, spring onion, four to six slices of ginger, two or three cloves, at least a large spoon of salt in a big pot to boil with enough water to cover the duck
-
Put in the duck when boiled and simmer for 30 minutes with lid
-
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool for a long time
-
Refrigerate for 5 hours
-
Chop and serve
