Only a morbid fanatic can take pleasure in the sufferings he inflicts upon himself; only an insensitive fool can take pleasure in the sufferings that are the consequences of his folly; and only a convinced Christian can take pleasure in sufferings endured “for Christ's sake,” for he alone has been initiated into the divine secret, that it is only when he is “weak,” having thrown himself unreservedly in penitence and humility upon the never-failing mercies of God, that he is “strong,” with a strength not his own, but belonging to the Lord of all power and might.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth and cut in two. Rub each
half inside and out with soy sauce.
2. Heat oil until boiling. Using a wire basket or long-handled Chinese
strainer, add duck, one half at a time, and deep-fry, basting and turning,
until light golden. Drain on paper toweling.
3. Transfer duck halves to a heavy pan and add water, salt, sugar and
remaining soy sauce. Bring to a boil; then simmer, covered, 30 minutes.
4. Drain, reserving liquid. Let bird cool; then bone and cut in 1-inch
squares, each with some skin. Dredge lightly in flour to coat.
5. Reheat deep-frying oil to boiling. Add duck squares a few at a time and
deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper toweling. Keep warm.
6. Skim and discard fat from reserved duck liquid; then reheat. Meanwhile
blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in to thicken.
Arrange duck squares on a serving platter, pour sauce over and serve.
