From the Cantonese region of China, this is a lovely home-style dish which is easy to make, deliciously fruity and ready in minutes. Serve with egg fried rice or plain rice. Ingredients:
2 duck breasts |
1 pinch white pepper |
1 teaspoon rice wine or 1 teaspoon dry sherry |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
7/8 cup peanut oil |
1 in piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced |
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 1/2in chunks |
2 small oranges, juice |
1 lime, juice |
1 tablespoon light soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Remove the skin from the duck breasts and cut the duck into thin slices. Put the duck slices in a bowl with a pinch of salt, the white pepper, rice wine or dry sherry and the cornstarch. Mix well.
2. Heat a wok over a high heat and pour in the peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350F or until a cube of bread dropped in turns golden brown in 15 seconds and floats to the surface.
3. Shallow fry the duck in the oil for about 2 mins, stirring now and again, until golden and crispy on the outside.
4. Take the wok off the heat, remove the duck with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Pour the oil from the wok through a fine seive into a bowl.
5. Return 1 tbs of the oil to the wok (you can discard the rest) and return the wok to a high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the ginger and stir fry for a few seconds., then add the red pepper and stir fry for 1 minute.
6. Return the fried duck slices to the wok. Next add the orange juice, lime juice and soy sauce and toss together until well combined.
7. Serve immediately.
