Ingredients- Smoked duck 500g
- Scallions (a generous handful)
- Garlic 10 cloves
- Soy sauce 1 Tbsp
- Oyster sauce 0.5 Tbsp
- Toasted sesame seeds (a pinch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh scallions thoroughly and cut them into large pieces, about 5-7 cm long. (The scallions in the photo were home-grown and may appear smaller, resembling chives. Using regular scallions will provide a fuller texture.)
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them into thick pieces. Avoid slicing them too thinly, as they can burn easily.
Step 3
Place the smoked duck in a preheated pan without any added oil. Stir-fry over medium heat until nicely browned. The duck’s own fat will render, helping it cook and stay moist.
Step 4
Once the smoked duck is golden brown and appetizing, add the sliced garlic. Continue to stir-fry together, allowing the garlic’s aroma to infuse into the duck fat.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the scallions. Start by adding the thicker white parts of the scallions to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. This will help retain their crispiness.
Step 6
Next, add the remaining green parts of the scallions. Stir-fry everything together quickly, ensuring the duck, garlic, and scallions are well combined. Stir-fry just until the scallions are slightly wilted; this preserves their pleasant texture.
Step 7
Once the scallions have slightly softened, it’s time to season. Pour 1 Tbsp of soy sauce around the edges of the pan to add depth of flavor, then mix everything together.
Step 8
Add 0.5 Tbsp of oyster sauce. Since the saltiness of smoked duck can vary by brand, taste the dish and adjust the amount of oyster sauce as needed to suit your preference. Be careful not to oversalt.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Your delicious Smoked Duck and Scallion Stir-fry is now complete! Stir well with chopsticks to finish.
Step 10
This Smoked Duck and Scallion Stir-fry requires no complicated sauce, achieving a wonderful flavor with simple seasonings. It’s excellent served over hot rice as a rice bowl, or paired with cold beer or soju for a fantastic drinking snack. Enjoy your meal!
