SOUTH STREAM TIPS
This is a very old technique which ensures a very moist product. Duck leg can be eaten hot right out of the oven with a nice salad or toast. Also, the legs can be left in the fridge covered with the oil for at least a week. The meat can be taken off the bone and can be used with fried noodles, fried rice or only mixed with some mayonnaise and herbs and spread on a piece of toast.
