2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely grated

I’ve only ever had duck once and I loved it. But have never thought to try to cook it myself. But after reading this recipe I might just give it a try.

I love duck. I first tried it when I was in China. It was ever so hot flavour wise and very difficult to eat .This recipe will be so nice and not so spicy!
