Honey roast duck on rice
From zen2
Ingredients
- 2 portions of cooked rice
- 2 duck legs or breasts
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp five-spice powder
- 1 tsp ground Szechuan pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 shallot (it's best to use the small, purple Asian variety, not the one I used in this picture)
- 1 tbsp tamari or dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- greens of your choice
Directions
- Rub the skins of the duck with the mixture of sugar, five-spice powder and Szechuan pepper.
- Leave for 15 minutes or so.
- Preheat oven to 190 deg celcius.
- In a dry frying pan, place duck skin side down and cook over medium heat for skin to crisp.
- The fats from the duck will be expelled by the heat so there really is no need to add any oil.
- Place duck skin side up in a roasting tin and add 1 tbsp of the fat into the tin.
- Mix 1/2 tbsp honey with the same amount of water and brush on the duck skin.
- Place in oven to cook, around 25 - 35 minutes depending on how well you like the meat.
- When done, drain off all the oil and let the duck sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes before cutting.
- In the meantime, reserve about 1 tbsp of duck fat in the pan and add sliced shallots to cook over a low heat.
- When shallots are very soft, add soy sauce, rest of the honey and water and bring to boil.
- You can add some cornstarch to thicken the gravy, or just leave it as it is.
- Boil greens and chop up finely.
- To assemble, top the rice with the greens, thinly sliced duck meat and some gravy.
