👨‍🍳 作り方

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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Serve hot, with the braised duck and taro, and spoon the rich sauce over the top. This dish is best enjoyed with steamed rice.

💡 プロのコツ

✓Ensure the duck is patted dry before marinating for better flavor absorption.
✓If taro is not readily available, other root vegetables like potatoes or sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute, though the flavor profile will differ.
✓For a richer flavor, marinating the duck overnight is recommended.
