Pressure Cooked Five-Spiced "Lo Shui" Duck in 30 minutes!

Move along chicken, time for a new poultry in town! I decided to buy a whole duck at my nearest supermarket and take advantage of my awesome pressure cooker.The results were pretty good and I'd make it again for sure! Here's what I did!

Ingredients:

~4 lb Whole Duck
Five Spice Powder
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup Cooking Wine (Shiao Xing Rice Wine)
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Light Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sugar
Salt
4-5 cloves of Garlic
5 slices of Ginger
3 sticks whole Green Onion

Instructions:

1) Poke many holes and slits throughout the duck's skin; this allows the marinade to seep into the duck better as well as allow the duck fat to release as duck is pretty fatty naturally

2) Mix all the ingredients aside from the duck and pour it all over the duck in some pan

3) Ladle the marinade often all over the duck and also on the inside.

4) Optional: Let it marinade overnight in the refrigerator

5) Now before you commence cooking the duck, rub the inside of the duck with salt

6) Get your pressure cooker out and set the heat to medium-high

7) Sear the duck on both sides to brown the skin and to seal the juices

8) Once searing of the duck is complete, pour in the remaining marinade from the duck into the pressure cooker and let it pressurize!

9) Once pressurized, set timer to ~ 25 - 30 minutes (3 - 4lb)

10) Voila, delicious fully infused five-spiced whole duck!
