stuffing recipe for duck entree
Planning an Asian-style duck instead of turkey - but hubby insists on bread-based stuffing instead of rice. Any recipe ideas? thanks!

@dymnyno -- Yes, a dressing can be a stuffing but not the other way around. Thanks for pointing out the technical nuance. I'm glad I'm not alone. ;-)
But I would consider researching and doing a Peking style duck - complete with crepes (or thin Asian pancakes), hoisin sauce, scallions, slices of skin to garnish. Yum. Serve with a few courses of Asian vegetables and rice. Easier to do than you think, but a lot of prep (chopping veg) that can be done ahead of time.

Attack the project this way: Make the cornbread on the savory, dry side; Marie Calenders-like cornbread won't work well. Cube and toast it to dry it out a tad.
Saute off the other ingredients, seasoning them with Chinese five spice, white pepper, or fennel and clove. Moisten with some liquid from soaking the mushroom, a touch of soy sauce and a splash of Shaoxing rice wine for holiday cheer. Then mix it all up in a bowl, and add salt and pepper to taste. If you need moisture, add chicken broth. Bake it in a casserole dish under foil till hot, then uncover to bake until crusty.
Hope this helps. Do let us know what you end up doing! Good luck.
