Main Ingredients
- 3 slices of duck meat (approx. 150-200g), prepared
- 1 medium potato
- 300ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in your rice cooker, add 3 slices of prepared duck meat and 1 medium potato, cut into large chunks. For best results, ensure the duck meat is rinsed to remove any blood. Peel the potato and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Pour in 300ml of water. Add 1 tablespoon of onion powder (or the finely chopped onion), 1 tablespoon of dried anchovy powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup, and 4 tablespoons of perilla seed powder. Stir everything well with a spatula or spoon to ensure the seasonings dissolve evenly into the liquid.
Step 3
Now, close the lid and select the ‘Steam’ or ‘Multi-cook’ function on your rice cooker, setting it for 20 minutes. If your rice cooker doesn’t have this specific function, you can achieve a similar result by running the ‘Reheat’ or ‘Cook’ cycle about 3 times. The gentle cooking will tenderize the duck and potatoes.
Step 4
Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully open the rice cooker. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of perilla seed powder until well combined. If you enjoy a unique peppery aroma, add a pinch of Sichuan pepper powder. Start with a small amount, as its flavor is quite potent.
Step 5
Give the soup a final gentle stir to ensure all ingredients and the rich broth are well incorporated. Ladle the hot soup into a bowl, serve it with a side of rice, and enjoy your delicious, homemade Spicy Duck and Potato Perilla Soup made with ease in your rice cooker! ^^
