Main Ingredients- 200g sliced smoked duck (adjust quantity as preferred)
- 1 handful fresh bean sprouts (approx. 100g)
- 5 chili peppers (e.g., Cheongyang or red chili peppers for a spicy kick!)
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color like red or yellow for visual appeal)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic (for enhanced flavor!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the chili peppers thinly after removing the seeds. Also, slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Using a variety of colorful bell peppers will make the dish look even more appealing!
Step 2
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and stir-fry the sliced smoked duck until lightly browned. The duck itself releases enough fat, so you likely won’t need to add extra oil. This step helps reduce any gaminess from the duck and enhances its savory flavor.
Step 3
Transfer the stir-fried smoked duck to a separate plate temporarily. Doing this prevents the duck from overcooking and becoming tough while you stir-fry the bean sprouts and vegetables.
Step 4
Without adding extra oil to the same pan used for the duck, add the minced garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until fragrant, using the rendered duck fat. Once the garlic aroma is released, add the sliced chili peppers and bell peppers, then stir-fry quickly over high heat to maintain their crispiness.
Step 5
As the vegetables begin to soften slightly, add the prepared bean sprouts and stir-fry them together. Bean sprouts cook very quickly, so high heat is key to keeping them wonderfully crisp. Finally, add a pinch of salt to season the entire dish. If it tastes a bit bland, a dash of soy sauce can be added.
Step 6
Arrange the well-stir-fried bean sprouts and vegetables attractively on a serving plate. Top generously with the reserved stir-fried smoked duck. The smoky aroma and richness of the duck will beautifully complement the crisp bean sprouts.
Step 7
Finish by sprinkling some toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Your delicious Smoked Duck and Bean Sprout Stir-fry is now complete! Enjoy it over warm rice as a quick meal, or pair it with a cold beer for a delightful snack.
