Equipment

Wok, slotted spoon, fine sieve, bowl, kitchen paper

Ingredients

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine or 1 teaspoon dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 7/8 cup peanut oil
  • 1 in piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 1/2in chunks
  • 2 small oranges, juice
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the duck breasts and cut the duck into thin slices. Put the duck slices in a bowl with a pinch of salt, the white pepper, rice wine or dry sherry and the cornstarch. Mix well.

  2. Heat a wok over a high heat and pour in the peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350F or until a cube of bread dropped in turns golden brown in 15 seconds and floats to the surface.

  3. Shallow fry the duck in the oil for about 2 mins, stirring now and again, until golden and crispy on the outside.

  4. Take the wok off the heat, remove the duck with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Pour the oil from the wok through a fine seive into a bowl.

  5. Return 1 tbs of the oil to the wok (you can discard the rest) and return the wok to a high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the ginger and stir fry for a few seconds., then add the red pepper and stir fry for 1 minute.

  6. Return the fried duck slices to the wok. Next add the orange juice, lime juice and soy sauce and toss together until well combined.

  7. Serve immediately.
