Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the smoked duck breast in a preheated pan and sear until golden brown. No additional oil is needed as smoked duck is naturally fatty.
Step 2
Once seared, transfer the smoked duck to paper towels to drain excess fat and let it cool slightly. This step ensures a less greasy and more refined texture.
Step 3
Cut the scallions into approximately 2-3 cm lengths. Finely julienne the onion, then soak it in cold water for about 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly to maintain its crispness.
Step 4
Prepare the red and yellow bell peppers by removing seeds and slicing them into strips, similar in length to the scallions. Their vibrant colors will add visual appeal to the salad.
Step 5
Finely mince the prepared onion and the Korean green chili pepper. You can remove the seeds from the chili pepper if you prefer less heat.
Step 6
Wash the perilla leaves thoroughly and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Their unique aroma complements the dish beautifully.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine the minced onion, minced green chili pepper, 2 Tbsp of the Green Kiwi Cream Cheese Dressing, 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 2-3 pinches of toasted salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk together to create the dressing.
Step 8
Add the pan-seared smoked duck, the drained julienned onion, the colorful bell pepper strips, and the sliced scallions to the bowl.
Step 9
Pour the prepared dressing over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together, taking care not to break the duck or vegetables, ensuring an even coating of dressing.
Step 10
Arrange the perilla leaves attractively on a serving plate, then carefully place the tossed smoked duck and vegetable mixture on top.
Step 11
Your delicious Smoked Duck and Vegetable Salad, effortlessly enhanced by the Green Kiwi Cream Cheese Dressing, is now complete! Enjoy this wonderful dish for a special occasion or simply to brighten your day.
