Duck Fried Rice
Description
The recipe begins by searing aromatics—garlic, chiles, and the white parts of green onions—in hot duck fat or peanut oil until fragrant. Shredded duck meat is then introduced along with diced carrots, peas, and cooked jasmine rice. A well-beaten egg is poured into one side of the wok to cook and scramble separately before being mixed into the rice and other ingredients. Allowing the rice to sit briefly without stirring creates a slightly crispy bottom layer characteristic to fried rice. Soy sauce is added near the end for seasoning, and a final drizzle of sesame oil imparts a distinctive nuttiness.
The dish balances savory and mildly spicy flavors with textural contrast between tender shredded duck, firm vegetables, scrambled egg, and occasional crisped rice. It is best served hot as a standalone entrée or alongside complementary dishes, particularly where duck is preferred over other proteins.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons duck fat or peanut oil
- 3 green onion white and green parts separate, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 to 3 hot chiles small, chopped
- 1/2 pound duck meat see above for duck breast option, shredded, leftover
- 3 cups rice jasmine if possible, cooked, cooled
- 2 carrot peeled and diced small
- 1 cup pea fresh or thawed
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Get a wok or large frying pan very hot over a strong burner. Add the duck fat or peanut oil, and the moment it begins to smoke, add the garlic, chiles and the white part of the scallions. Stir fry about 30 seconds.
- Add the duck meat, rice, carrots and peas and stir fry 2 minutes. Push everything to one side of the wok and pour in the beaten egg. Swirl it with a chopstick or somesuch until it sets, then stir fry it into the rest of the rice. This helps keep it in largish, recognizable pieces.
- Let the stir fry sit for 1 minute without touching it. You want to develop some browning and crispiness on the bottom. After the minute has elapsed, pour the soy sauce in around the edges of the rice, then mix well. Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over it.
