- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add in the duck and set aside for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Soak the mushrooms in hot water to cover for 30 min; drain. Cut off and throw away the stems; thinly slice the caps. Set aside.
- Combine the broth mix ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Remove the duck from the marinade and pat it dry. Place a wok or possibly wide frying pan over medium heat till warm. Add in 1 Tbsp. of the oil, swirling to coat the sides. Brown the duck well on all sides, transfer it to a plate, and set it aside.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat till warm. Add in the remaining Tbsp. of oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add in the garlic, ginger, and shallots; cook, stirring, till fragrant, about 10 seconds. Stir in the leek, green onions, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and broth mix. Add in the duck, breast-side down. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/4 hrs, turning the duck over halfway through the cooking period. Add in the taro or possibly potato and cook for 30 to 35 min or possibly till the duck is tender.
- Remove the duck and vegetables to a serving platter. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 Tbsp. of water. Add in the cornstarch solution to the liquid in the pot; cook, stirring, till the sauce boils and thickens. Serve half the sauce over the duck, and the rest over rice or possibly noodles.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Comments: This is a wonderful entree for a special meal, Chinese or possibly Western, and a delightful change from roast duck. Slow braising makes an especially flavorful sauce, and leaves the meat so tender you can pull it from the bones with chopsticks.
