How to Cook Stir-Fried Duck

Prepare the Duck Meat
To prevent the duck meat from having a bad smell, use a fire blower to evenly scorch the duck skin to burn off the feathers. Blow fire until the skin turns evenly yellow, then turn off the fire. After that, wash the duck meat thoroughly with water and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Marinate the Duck Meat
Marinate the meat with the following mixture: 1 tablespoon of chili paste, 2 teaspoons of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, 1 tablespoon of annatto oil, 1/2 tablespoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce.
Finally, mix all the ingredients together and marinate for about 30 – 45 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavors.

Stir-fried Duck
First, divide the lemongrass into 2 parts. One part is finely chopped and the other part is cut into pieces about 1 – 2 finger lengths.
Next, place a pan on the stove, add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan. Add all the lemongrass to the pan and sauté until golden and fragrant over medium heat.
Once the lemongrass is uniformly golden and aromatic, add the marinated duck meat to the pan. Stir-fry continuously until the duck meat is seared, then slowly pour in 300ml of fresh coconut water into the pan.
Cook until the water in the pan boils and the coconut water reduces, then add 100ml of coconut milk. Adjust the heat to high and season to taste according to your family’s preference.
Finally, add the onion cut into wedges and the julienned ginger into the pan, stir well until the onion becomes translucent, then add the chopped scallions, stir once more, and turn off the heat. Scoop the stir-fried duck onto a plate and enjoy.
Tip: To prevent the dish from having a strong smell of duck, you should stir-fry the duck meat until it is fully cooked before adding the fresh coconut water and continuing to prepare the dish. -
Final Product
To make the dish more visually appealing, sprinkle a little roasted peanuts and a few slices of chili on top of the dish.

The broth is sweet and light, with a bit of creaminess from the coconut milk. Particularly, the dish will be even more stimulating to the taste buds when you serve it with hot rice.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Duck Meat
- Choose ducks that have just been slaughtered, with skin that is a bright yellow color, not too dark, mottled, or with many bruises.
- Press your hand on the meat to feel that it is firm and elastic; avoid ducks that deform when pressed, as this may indicate they have been injected with water.
- It is advisable to buy pre-prepared duck meat to save cooking time.
How to Clean Duck Meat to Avoid Bad Smells
- You can use a mixture of salt, lemon, or vinegar to scrub the entire duck.
- Use a mixture of wine and sliced ginger, smash it, and scrub and massage the entire duck again to ensure it is truly clean and free of bad odors, then rinse with clean water.
- Remove the feathers and soak the duck in white wine for about 10 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with water and let it drain.
