     Yield: 4 Servings

     5 lb Long Island duck
     7    Scallions; trimmed
     2 sl Fresh ginger (1/2")
   1/4 c  Honey
     2 tb Corn starch
     3 tb Shao Hsing or dry sherry
     1 tb White vinegar
    12    Frozen steamed rolls;
          - up to 15
          Sweet black bean sauce or
          - hoisin sauce; for serving

 In a very cool room, tie duck wings together using
 kitchen twine. In a cool room, hang duck from kitchen
 twine over a large bowl overnight, about 8 hours.

 Fill a large pot with 4 cups water, 2 scallions, ginger,
 and honey; cover and bring to a boil. In a medium bowl,
 whisk together corn starch and 1 cup cold water until
 well combined. Whisk corn starch mixture into boiling
 water mixture until it is the consistency of a light
 gravy. Stir in wine and vinegar; remove sauce from heat.

 Add duck to pot and spoon over sauce, for 3 to 5
 minutes, until very well coated. Remove from sauce and
 hang duck again, in a cool room, over a large bowl for 4
 hours.

 Set oven to 300 F/150 C.

 Fill the drip tray of a vertical poultry roaster with
 water; set in a roasting pan. Place duck on vertical
 roaster and transfer to oven. Roast until duck is
 golden. Take care with duck grease as you roast; if too
 much begins to accumulate in roasting pan, ladle into a
 disposable heatproof container as the duck cooks and
 discard.

 Meanwhile, prepare frozen steamed rolls according to
 package directions. Quarter white parts of remaining 5
 scallions and cut into 2" pieces, reserving green
 parts for another use.

 Thinly slice duck and serve with steamed rolls,
 scallions, and sweet bean or hoisin sauce.
