Rub soy sauce, then peanut oil, over duck skin. Put star anise inside duck cavity. Place bird on a rack over a drip pan containing several inches of water. Roast to brown lightly (about 20 minutes), turning duck once. Meanwhile bring water to a boil. 4. Transfer duck to a large heavy pan. Mince ginger root and soaked tangerine peel and add, along with salt and boiling water to cover. Simmer, covered, 1 1/2 hours. 5. Drain duck, reserving liquid. Let bird cool slightly then either chop in bite-size pieces, or carve Western-style. Shred lettuce and arrange duck on top. Keep warm. 6. Strain duck liquid, then bring to a boil. Stir in remaining soy sauce and salt. Blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in to thicken liquid. Serve as a dip with duck.
