       Yield: 4 servings
  
       1 ea Fresh Muskrat (Road Kill)
       1 ea Hickory plank, slightly
       1 x  -larger than muskrat
       1 tb Cooking oil

   Nail the muskrat to the hickory plank, carefully
   stretching out. Chop the green onion fine.  Heat the
   oil in 2 quart pot, then add the onion and the
   remaining ingredients. Saute, stirring, on medium heat
   until the sauce is done. (about 5 minutes or more).
   Place planked muskrat in a large pot, add 4 cups of
   water and simmer, uncovered, on medium heat for one
   hour. Add the fish sauce and continue to simmer on
   medium heat 1 more hour.  Most of the water will be
   absorbed by the meat and the remainder will be
   slightly thick--or carmelized.  Be careful not to burn
   it. Remove the muskrat from the pot carefully !
   Seperate the muskrat from the plank, and place meat to
   one side. Pour the sauce from the pot over the plank.
   Totally discard the muskrat and eat the plank ! Bon
   Appetite. Serve hot as a main dish, with lots of rice.
