Ingredients
4 duck legs, skin scored
250ml water
4 tbsp mirin
4 tbsp rice wine/sake
100g carrots
4 spring onions
100g mange tout
1 yellow pepper
100g cooked peas
100g cooked rice
4 eggs
½ tsp sesame oil
Large squeeze honey
Thumb size piece fresh ginger, grated
Handful sesame seeds
Method
Heat the oven to 180*c. Mix together the water, soy, mirin & rice wine to make a marinade. Place the duck legs in an oven proof bowl & pour over the marinade and cook in the oven for 90min, basting half-way through. Remove the duck legs from the oven and set aside for 10 mins under foil.
Drain a little of the fat from the cooking juices and set aside. Ladle out 4-6 scoops of the cooking juices & mix well with the sesame oil, honey & ginger (you can shake together in a jam jar to combine). Prepare the veg: finely slice the mange tout, spring onions & yellow pepper. Grate or julienne the carrots.
Heat a dry frying pan and gently toast the sesame seeds
To assemble:
- Shred the duck
- Add the veg & rice, placing each component in a separate space
- Dress generously with the jam jar marinade
- Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds
- Top with an egg fried in the reserved duck fat
Serve immediately!
Quack quack!
