Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the smoked duck breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. Roughly chop the kimchi into 2-3cm lengths. Thinly slice the onion, and diagonally slice the green onions.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced smoked duck and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes. This allows the duck to release its savory fat and become lightly browned.
Step 3
Once the duck has rendered some fat and is lightly browned, add the chopped kimchi and sliced onions to the pan. Stir-fry together for about 3-4 minutes, or until the kimchi softens slightly.
Step 4
When the kimchi is tender, add the minced garlic (0.5 Tbsp), red pepper flakes (0.3 Tbsp), and sugar (0.5 Tbsp). Mix well to coat the ingredients with the seasonings. You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and sugar depending on how spicy and sour your kimchi is.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add the diagonally sliced green onions. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper if needed. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds just before serving for extra flavor.
Step 6
Once everything is well combined and glossy, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation and added nutty flavor. Your delicious Smoked Duck Kimchi Stir-fry is ready!
Step 7
While smoked duck is delicious on its own, stir-frying it with spicy and tangy kimchi cuts through any richness, leaving you with a wonderfully balanced flavor. The kimchi stir-fried in the savory duck fat is incredibly tasty. It’s perfect as a side dish for rice or as a delightful appetizer!
Step 8
This simple yet incredibly flavorful Smoked Duck Kimchi Stir-fry is a lifesaver on busy days when you need a satisfying meal. It works wonderfully as a hearty side dish or paired with a cold beer or soju as a fantastic appetizer. Your dinner menu dilemma is solved!
