Braised Duck With Ginger



Ingredients:

650g duck drumsticks (3) - cut into big chunks
75g ginger slices
20g chopped garlic
1 tbsp fermented soy beans
5g rock sugar (4 small cubes)
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
1/2 tbsp dark soy
3 tbsp light soy
1 tbsp oil
3/4 tbsp sesame oil
black pepper
1 tbsp corn flour + 1 tbsp water - for thickening


  • Marinate duck pieces with 1 tbsp soy sauce and a dash of black pepper.
  • Heat cooking oil and sesame oil in a saucepan and sauté ginger slices until fragrant, then add in chopped garlic.  Sauté until fragrant and put in fermented soy beans.  
  • Put in marinated duck and fry until brown.  Add dark and light soy sauces, rock sugar and black pepper.  Pour in enough water to cover the duck. Stir well and cover.  
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until duck is tender.  (It took 50 minutes cooked in my AMC pot).

  5. Hi Veronica, long time no see. I like duck [breast and drumsticks] dishes but seldom cook it cos' we have to buy the whole duck here. Maybe I have to think of several recipes to cook the different parts. Looks yummy with the thick gravy, nice over rice.

    1. Hi Kimmy I was away for two months in Msia. This is the first dish I cooked since I got back. I don't like to buy the whole duck so drumstick it is.
