👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Marinate the duck pieces with fermented bean curd, Chu Hou sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp of Shaoxing wine, and brown sugar. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Prepare the taro: Peel and cut the taro into chunks. You can either microwave them for 2-3 minutes until slightly set, or steam them for 6-8 minutes. Alternatively, lightly fry the taro pieces until golden brown.

Heat oil in a wok or large pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, shallots, and scallion sections and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the marinated duck pieces and stir-fry until the surface is lightly browned and some fat has rendered out.

Add the remaining 2 tbsp of Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another minute. Add the water and star anise. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the duck is tender.

Add the prepared taro chunks to the pot. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the taro is tender and has absorbed some of the sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, with the braised duck and taro, and spoon the rich sauce over the top. This dish is best enjoyed with steamed rice.
