Instructions: Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Rub duck inside and out with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Soak mushrooms in warm water to cover until softened, about 20 minutes; drain. Discard stems; thinly slice caps.

Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and preserved vegetable; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add wine, five-spice, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce; cook for 1 minute. Let cool.

Place stuffing inside duck; use skewers to enclose.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place duck, breast-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake until meat is no longer pink when cut near bone, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Increase heat to 475 degrees. Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl. Brush glaze over duck. Bake until skin is richly glazed, 5 to 7 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

Comments: Heres my easy home-style version of Cantonese roast duck. Its marinated in wine, filled with an aromatic stuffing, and finished of with a soy and hoisin glaze for a beautifully lacquered look.

If you live near a Chinese deli that sells roast ducks, youre in luck: You can enjoy a wonderful treat any time without running up a huge "duck bill"! Roasting duck the Chinese way is a real art. First, the birds are parboiled, melting away some of the fat. Then theyre blown up with air and hung up to dry to tighten their skin. Finally, theyre lacquered with a sweet glaze of honey, maltose, vinegar, and rice wine that caramelizes during roasting, making the skin crisp and brown. You can eat Cantonese roast duck at room temperature, or warm it in the oven. Serve it with the thin brown cooking sauce thats usually included at no extra charge, or shred the meat and use it to top a salad of greens tossed with a vinaigrette enriched either with a bit of the duck sauce, or with bottled plum sauce.
