"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chinese Honey Goose

 

Ingredients

1 whole goose

HONEY SYRUP MIXTURE

1 lemon
4 cup water
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2/3 cup rice wine or dry sherry



 

Preparation

IF THE GOOSE IS FROZEN, thaw it thoroughly. Rinse the goose well and
blot it completely dry with paper towels. Insert a meat hook near the
neck. Using a sharp knife, cut the lemon into 1/4-inch slices,
leaving the rind on. Combine the lemon slices with the rest of the
honey syrup ingredients in a large pot and bring the mixture to a
boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes. Using a
large ladle or spoon, pour this mixture over the goose several times,
as if to bathe it, until all of the skin is completely coated with
the mixture. Hang the goose in a cool, well-ventilated place to dry
for 4-or-5 hours, or hang it in front of a cold fan for about 3
hours--in either case, the longer the better. Once the goose has
dried, the surface of the skin will feel like parchment. Preheat the
oven to 475F. Meanwhile, place the goose on a rack in a roasting pan,
breast side up. Put 2/3 cup of water into the roasting pan. Now put
the goose into the oven and roast it for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to
350F and continue to roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the
goose from the oven and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before you
carve it. Using a cleaver or sharp knife, cut the skin and meat into
pieces and arrange them on a warm platter.
