Bebek timbungan is a culinary classic that is truly legendary. Starting rare, the duck is covered with spices for at least 4 hours, after which it is steamed for at least 8 hours. The length of the cooking process is due to using old duck, so it takes a long time for the meat to infuse with spices and become tender.
