I love eating duck. Whenever I want to make something special, I often turn to duck. This was my first attempt at smoking duck breast, and it turned out delicious… if I say so myself!
Tea Smoked Duck
Ingredients
2 duck breasts
Smoking mix
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
1 clove
1 cup of uncooked rice
1/2 cup of tea
1/4 cup sugar
With a mortar and pestle, crush the cinnamon stick, star anise and clove (crushed but not powdered), and then combine with the rice, tea and sugar.
Line a wok with two layers of foil and add the tea mix. Heat over high heat until it is smoking hot. Put the duck breasts on a trivet, skin side up, and place over the smoking tea.
Covered the top of the wok with foil, and if you also have a lid put it on. Turn the heat down to low and let it smoke for 20-25 minutes.
If you want crispy skin duck (as we did), take the duck out of the wok a little earlier. Heat a frying pan (no oil needed), add duck skin down and cook for a few minutes until crispy.
Serving Suggestion – Asian Slaw
Shredded cabbage, thinly sliced large red chilli, thinly sliced beans, bean sprouts, finely chopped small red chilli, chopped coriander, mint and basil, grated carrot and grated green apple (apple tossed with the juice of 1/2 lime).
For the dressing – I used the same one I made for my green mango salad.
