- Put the duck, ginger slices and smashed garlic cloves in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour.

- Let the soup cook for another hour and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Mustard Cabbage
Be sure to drain the pickled mustard cabbage when you open it and if you do not want the flavour to be too intense, soak it in warm water for a few minutes. I know you can also get fresh in some Melbourne markets.
