Alternative Method: Sous Vide Twice Style Cooked Duck
Ingredients:
- 1 duck breast (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Sichuan doubanjiang (chili bean paste)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (toasted and ground)
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- Green onions (for garnish)
- Cooked rice (to serve)
Instructions:
- Preheat your sous vide machine to 140°F (60°C) for a medium-rare result. Adjust the temperature to your preferred doneness.
- Season the duck breast generously with salt. Vacuum-seal it in a sous vide bag.
- Submerge the bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 2 to 4 hours, depending on your desired tenderness. The longer it cooks, the more tender the duck will become.
- While the duck is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, ginger, and Sichuan doubanjiang. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Set the sauce aside.
- Once the duck has finished sous viding, remove it from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels. Preheat a skillet over high heat.
- Place the duck, skin side down, in the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes.
- Slice the duck into thin pieces and serve it over cooked rice. Drizzle the sauce on top and garnish with chopped green onions.
Tips for making Twice Style Cooked Duck
Cooking Tips
- Score the Duck Skin: When preparing the duck, scoring the skin allows the fat to render out more effectively during cooking. This results in a crispy, golden-brown skin that’s a hallmark of this dish.
- Use Medium Heat: For the first stage of cooking, simmer the duck on medium heat. This gentle cooking method ensures that the meat remains tender while infusing it with flavor from the aromatic broth.
- Chill Before the Second Cook: After the initial simmering, let the duck cool and rest in the refrigerator. This step firms up the skin, making it easier to handle when you proceed to the stir-frying stage.
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Choose fresh, high-quality duck and aromatic ingredients for the best flavor. Using Sichuan doubanjiang and Sichuan peppercorns will give your dish an authentic and spicy kick.
Serving Suggestions
- Steamed Jasmine Rice: A classic pairing with the duck, the simplicity of steamed jasmine rice allows you to savor the complex flavors of the dish.
- Pickled Vegetables: A side of pickled cucumbers, daikon radish, or carrots provides a refreshing contrast to the rich and spicy flavors of the duck.
- Szechuan-Style String Beans: Stir-fried green beans with garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns make an excellent side dish that complements the duck’s spiciness.
- Soy Sauce Dipping Sauce: Create a simple dipping sauce with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar. It pairs perfectly with the duck.
- Chrysanthemum Tea: To balance the heat of the dish, enjoy it with a soothing cup of chrysanthemum tea or a light lager beer.
