Main Ingredients- 800g antibiotic-free duck meat
- 2 onions
- 2 king oyster mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, use paper towels to thoroughly pat dry any excess blood or moisture from the duck meat (800g). Removing the blood well is key to a clean taste without any gamey odor.
Step 2
Place the patted duck meat into a large bowl. Cut it into bite-sized pieces or a size that is easy to cook.
Step 3
Add all the seasoning ingredients to the bowl with the duck meat. These include: 3 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp jin-ganjang, 3 Tbsp soju (helps remove odor and tenderizes the meat), 3 Tbsp won-dang (for sweetness and gloss), 2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp minced ginger, 2 Tbsp sesame oil, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, and a pinch of black pepper. Feel free to adjust the amount of gochugaru to your preferred spice level.
Step 4
Mix the duck meat and all the seasoning ingredients together with your hands, ensuring the marinade coats the meat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
Step 5
Peel the onions (2) and cut them into thick slices. Slicing them thickly will help them retain some texture after stir-frying.
Step 6
Wash the king oyster mushrooms (2) lightly under running water and then cut them into thick slices, similar to the onions. Their chewy texture complements the duck meat nicely.
Step 7
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated duck meat and begin to stir-fry. Cook the duck over high heat initially to sear the outside and lock in the juices. Once the duck is partially cooked, you can use kitchen scissors to cut larger pieces into more manageable sizes.
Step 8
When the duck meat is browned and almost fully cooked, add the sliced onions to the pan and stir-fry them with the duck. Cook until the onions become translucent.
Step 9
Once the onions are tender, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms to the pan and continue to stir-fry. Cook until the mushrooms soften and shrink in size.
Step 10
Finally, add more gochugaru and black pepper to taste for color and extra flavor. Stir-fry everything together until well combined and cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or salt if needed.
Step 11
Serve the stir-fried duck by portioning it onto plates as needed. Keeping it warm while serving enhances the flavor. Enjoy it wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves with a side of crisp chili peppers for a perfect combination.
Step 12
For a more substantial dish, you can add pre-boiled soybean sprouts or thinly sliced scallions towards the end of cooking and stir-fry them together for an added textural dimension.
Step 13
If you have any leftover stir-fried duck, you can transform it into a delicious fried rice! Combine the leftover duck with cooked rice, finely chopped kimchi, minced onion, and crumbled roasted seaweed (gim) in a pan. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and stir-fry until everything is well combined. This makes for a hearty and satisfying meal.
