Simple Smoked Duck Salad with Chives and Bell Peppers
Enjoy Home Camping with Smoked Pork Belly and Smoked Duck
No camping trip is complete without pork belly! Enjoy delicious smoked pork belly and smoked duck at home in just 5 minutes using your microwave. The smoked duck, when microwaved for 5 minutes, releases its excess fat, resulting in a wonderfully flavorful and tender dish. While delicious on its own, pairing it with a light salad of fresh chives and leftover bell peppers from your fridge elevates the entire experience. It’s a perfect way to bring a touch of camping to your home, especially on rainy days or when going out is difficult.
Main Ingredients
- 500g smoked duck
- A handful of chives
- A little red bell pepper
- A little yellow bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the smoked duck, known for its chewy texture and perfectly rendered fat. Place 500g of smoked duck on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 5 minutes. Once heated, cut the duck into bite-sized pieces and arrange them attractively on a serving plate.
Step 2
Get your fresh vegetables ready. Wash the chives thoroughly and cut them into 5cm lengths. Deseed the red and yellow bell peppers, then slice them thinly into 5cm strips. These colorful vegetables will not only enhance the flavor of the duck but also add a vibrant visual appeal to your dish.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients: 0.5 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil to create the dressing. Add the prepared chives and bell peppers to the bowl and gently toss them with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the vegetables mushy.
Step 4
Artfully arrange the dressed chives and bell pepper salad in the center of the plate holding the sliced smoked duck. The combination of the appetizing smoked duck and the crisp, refreshing vegetable salad is truly delightful.
Step 5
Even if you’re not typically a fan of duck dishes like duck soup, smoked duck offers a unique and enjoyable flavor profile. While it’s delicious on its own, pairing it with this vibrant vegetable salad adds layers of flavor and textural contrast.
Step 6
When the weather is gloomy and staying indoors is preferable, why not create a cozy home camping experience with smoked duck and smoked pork belly? If venturing outdoors isn’t an option, or if solo camping feels a bit lonely, a simple yet delicious meal like this can still bring the joy of camping right into your home. Enjoy a special camping meal, made effortlessly!
