Highly Recommended! Delicious and Simple Summer Energy Booster: Smoked Duck Stir-Fry with Garlic – The Golden Recipe
As summer arrives, my mother visited and seemed a bit low on energy. So, I prepared a quick and easy stir-fry with crispy bean sprouts, whole garlic cloves, and smoked duck. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrients to help you feel refreshed.
Ingredients
- 300g Smoked Duck
- 250g Bean Sprouts
- 15 cloves Garlic
- 4 Korean Green Peppers (similar to mild chili peppers)
Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash 4 Korean green peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems before using.
Step 2
If the peppers are long, cut them in half lengthwise, and then in half again to create manageable pieces, about 2-3 cm long.
Step 3
Thinly julienne the cut peppers. Julienne them about 0.5 cm thick for a nice texture when stir-fried.
Step 4
Prepare 15 whole garlic cloves by peeling them. Garlic adds a wonderful aroma and flavor, so don’t be shy with it!
Step 5
Cut the 300g of smoked duck into bite-sized pieces. If your smoked duck comes in large chunks, trim them down.
Step 6
Rinse the bean sprouts under cold running water and drain them very well. It’s crucial to remove excess water, as too much moisture can make the stir-fry soggy.
Step 7
Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan or wok. Add the julienned peppers and the whole garlic cloves.
Step 8
Sauté them briefly over medium-low heat until fragrant. Push the peppers to the sides and place the whole garlic cloves in the center. Focus on stir-frying the garlic until it turns golden brown and develops a sweet aroma. This step builds a great flavor base.
Step 9
Once the garlic is nicely browned, add the drained bean sprouts and the smoked duck to the pan. Pour in 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry quickly until everything is well combined.
Step 10
The key to this dish is maintaining the crispness of the bean sprouts. Stir-fry just until the bean sprouts start to wilt slightly; then turn off the heat immediately. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Step 11
After turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a final touch of fragrance. Adding sesame oil off the heat preserves its delicate aroma.
Step 12
Transfer the delicious smoked duck and bean sprout stir-fry to a serving plate. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your homemade dish!
