Spicy and Sweet Stir-fried Duck (Ori Jumulleok)
Home Cooking Recommendation! The Golden Recipe for Deliciously Spicy and Sweet Stir-fried Duck
Introducing a recipe for ‘Ori Jumulleok,’ a hearty and spicy dish similar to ‘Dakbokkeumtang’ (spicy braised chicken). It’s easy to make with pre-portioned duck meat and whatever vegetables you have in your fridge, making it a perfect dinner option for the whole family. You can create a wonderful meal without needing a special occasion.
Main Ingredients- 1/2 duck
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 stalk green onion
- 10 perilla leaves
- 10 whole garlic cloves
- 1 pack enoki mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To remove any gaminess from the duck, marinate it with 2 tablespoons of cooking wine (like Cheongha or Soju) for about 10 minutes. It’s also beneficial to pat the duck dry with paper towels to remove excess blood for freshness.
Step 2
Slice the onion into strips. Cut the green onion into large diagonal pieces. Wash the perilla leaves thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Lightly smash the whole garlic cloves with the side of a knife. Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and rinse them gently under running water. Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as chives, carrots, cabbage, or potatoes.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of oligodang, 1.5 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (or mirin), and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to create the sauce. If you prefer it spicier, you can add chili powder or chopped Cheongyang peppers.
Step 4
Add the prepared sauce to the marinated duck and mix thoroughly to ensure it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, massaging the sauce into the duck for better flavor infusion.
Step 5
Heat a pan over high heat and add the marinated duck. Stir-fry quickly, making sure to toss the duck frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Once the duck is partially cooked, add the prepared vegetables (onion, green onion, whole garlic) to the pan. Continue to stir-fry over high heat until the vegetables soften slightly.
Step 7
Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the sauce from burning, and stir continuously to combine the vegetables and duck. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little water.
Step 8
Towards the end of cooking, add the enoki mushrooms and perilla leaves. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for a short time. Enoki mushrooms cook very fast, so avoid overcooking them to maintain their pleasant texture.
Step 9
Stir-fry briefly one more time to allow the aromatic flavor of the perilla leaves to infuse. Adding them at the end preserves their fragrance best, as their aroma can dissipate if cooked for too long.
Step 10
Turn off the heat, and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy your delicious Spicy and Sweet Stir-fried Duck with a side of warm rice!
