8 lg Scallions,

           Cut into 2-inch lengths
      2 md Star anise, broken into

           16 sections

      2 sl Gingerroot,

           Half-dollar size
      5 lb Duck

      1 c  Dark soy sauce

      1 c  Light soy sauce

      1 c  Water

    3/4 c  Sugar.

           Honey
  Put the scallions, star anise and gingerroot in a heavy pot.  Place the
  duck, breast sideup in the pot. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over
  the duck. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer for about two hours or until
  tender, turning every half-hour. Remove duck from pan and place on a
  shallow dish, rub honey on duck, place duck in a 400 degree oven just until
  crispy...not too long.  Remove and chop into small pieces. Reserve liquid
  and serve at the table as a sauce. Sometimes I thicken it a little but most
  of the time we just serve it as is.
