Clean duck well and remove all hairs and pin feathers. Cut off tail and oil sacs and discard. Place in a large pan and pour sherry and soy sauce over it. Bring to a boil over high heat and brown each side of duck for 2 minutes. Coat duck well on each side with spices. Add enough water to half cover the duck. Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, turning every 20 minutes. Chop up duck chinese style or carve in the western way. Serve either hot or cold. Serves 4
