Main Ingredients
- 1 pack (approx. 300-400g) Moguchon Smoked Duck Slices
- 1/2 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 medium Carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 handful Chives, cut into 3-4 cm lengths
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To remove any gamey smell and make the smoked duck tender, briefly blanch the sliced smoked duck in boiling water for about 1 minute. Drain using a colander and let it cool slightly.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and a pinch of ginger powder. Mix well to create a delicious sauce. If you don’t have ginger powder, a tiny amount of minced fresh ginger can be used.
Step 3
Add the blanched and cooled smoked duck slices to the prepared sauce. Gently mix with your hands, ensuring the sauce coats the duck evenly. Let it marinate for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Wash the chives and cut them into approximately 3-4 cm lengths. Cutting them into larger pieces prevents them from becoming mushy when stir-fried.
Step 5
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Sliced onions will add sweetness and depth of flavor when cooked.
Step 6
Peel and thinly slice the carrot. Carrots add color and a pleasant texture to the dish.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced carrots and onions and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Then, add the marinated smoked duck and stir-fry everything together. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 8
Once the onions become translucent, add the cut chives. Stir-fry briefly until the chives are just wilted. The key is to cook them quickly over high heat so they don’t become too soft.
Step 9
Transfer the well-cooked smoked duck bulgogi to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired, for garnish. Enjoy your delicious Smoked Duck Bulgogi, perfect as a side dish or an appetizer!
