What we do in the UK is, we take the duck
我們在英國的做法是 取出鴨子
and we put things like five-spice and Sichuan peppercorn on it

For the dry marinade, it's OK to improvise the ingredients,

And, of course, we're in Sichuan,

so you add chillies, lots of it,

and then the most important thing are these

The rest of the marinade - including cardamom, ginger,

fennel seeds and bay leaves - are rubbed in,

then the duck is left for three hours to absorb the flavours.

for about 45 minutes, then to let it dry,

The marinade permeates the duck meat,

and that's what makes it red.
將其染紅
Absolutely beautiful.
實在是太美妙了
Out of this world.

It's much more complex than the aromatic crispy duck
這比我們在英國買到的香酥鴨
that we get in the UK.
復雜多了
It's funny, you don't even
很有意思 你甚至
taste the chillies, and things like that,
嘗不出辣椒和其他佐料的味道
but it's a very sophisticated mixture of flavours here.
卻能吃出精妙的混合口感
