Main Ingredients- 500g Smoked Duck: Using smoked duck with less fat and rich flavor will enhance the dish’s taste.
- 300g Well-Aged Napa Cabbage Kimchi: Fermented kimchi adds a deeper umami flavor.
- 1/2 stalk Green Onion: Sliced diagonally to add a fresh aroma.
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the 500g of smoked duck and cook until it’s golden brown on both sides. Smoked duck has its own fat, but a slight sear enhances its nutty flavor and texture.
Step 2
Wash the 1/2 stalk of green onion and slice it diagonally, including both the white and green parts. Slicing it thinly is ideal for this stir-fry.
Step 3
Prepare 300g of well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi. Cut it into bite-sized pieces. If your kimchi is very sour, you might want to adjust the amount of sugar accordingly.
Step 4
Once the smoked duck is golden brown, add the prepared kimchi and 1/2 Tbsp of sugar to the pan. Stir-fry everything together, ensuring the kimchi softens and blends well with the duck.
Step 5
When the smoked duck and kimchi are tender and well-cooked, add the sliced green onions and stir-fry for another minute or so. The fresh aroma of the green onions will further enhance the dish’s flavor.
Step 6
Just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty fragrance, and sprinkle with 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its aroma.
Step 7
Transfer the delicious smoked duck and kimchi stir-fry to a serving dish. This creates a wonderful side dish that pairs perfectly with rice, or can even serve as a delightful appetizer!
