Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup chopped Chinese roast duck meat, skin and fat separated and set aside
½ cup thinly sliced Chinese barbecued pork
6 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups cooked long-grain rice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the duck skin and fat in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until the skin is crispy, and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the duck meat, pork, half of the green onions, and the soy sauce. Cook and stir until the meats are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add rice and toss together until rice is hot and sizzling, about 5 minutes. Make a wide well in the middle of the rice, exposing the bottom of the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir until the eggs have scrambled. Then stir the scrambled eggs into the rice along with the rest of the green onions. Toss and stir until the rice is very hot, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

DUCK FRIED RICE



Duck Fried Rice image

Many of the earthy beers, those that are intensely flavored but not tilting to sweetness, would be happy matches for this fried rice dish, to serve alongside grilled meat or poultry, or even spiced fish blackened in a skillet or under the broiler. The texture of the rice will be best if it is cooked in advance and given a chance to cool thoroughly before reheating it with the other ingredients.

DUCK FRIED RICE WITH NAPA CABBAGE

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons peanut oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 small head Napa cabbage, cored and chopped
1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen peas, run under cool water for 2 minutes to thaw
1 generous pinch kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pint cooked long-grain white rice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup cooked duck meat, cut in pieces
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high flame. Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cabbage, mushrooms, and peas, stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 8 minutes; season with a nice pinch of salt. Remove the vegetables to a side platter and wipe out the wok.
  • Put the pan back on the heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, pour the eggs into the center of the pan. Scramble the egg lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces. Fold in the rice and toss with the egg to combined well, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula. Return the sauteed vegetables to the pan and moisten with the soy sauce. Toss everything together to heat through and season again with salt. Spoon the fried rice out onto a serving platter, lay the pieces of duck on top and garnish with cilantro.

Categories     main course

Time 5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups cold, cooked long-grain rice
3 tablespoons peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1 cup duck meat cut in small cubes
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 cup chopped scallions, including some of the green
2 cups bean sprouts, optional

Steps:

  • Flake the rice so that the grains do not stick together. Set it aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is almost smoking. Add the duck pieces, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring quickly with a metal spoon or spatula. Add the rice, stirring rapidly.
  • Quickly make a well in the center of the rice, and add the eggs, stirring constantly. When they are just beginning to scramble, quickly incorporate the rice by stirring in a circle.
  • When the rice and eggs are blended, add the peas and salt. Stir in the oyster sauce, scallions and bean sprouts, if desired. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice is too moist and will make the fried rice mushy. Day-old rice has had a chance to dry out, making it ideal for frying.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the rice in small batches. Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the rice will not cook evenly.
  • Stir the rice constantly. This will help prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  • Add the eggs, vegetables, and protein last. This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season the rice to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately. Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Duck fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and duck, and it is also a very affordable meal.
