Work in progress

This is a recipe that I started working on on 28 December 2022 to use up some left-over duck. It will probably change.

    Put aside.

  2. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces:

  3. Gently fry onions, then garlic, then pok choi in the remaining fat:

  5. Put in a plate and sprinkle with the crisp duck skin:

Heating the duck skin was more difficult than I thought, and it darkened considerably:

Fortunately it didn't affect the flavour. And the noodles tasted all right without being really good. I need to think what else to put in there. I've modified the quantities above for next time.

Notes

On 31 December 2022 I made another attempt at this dish. I probably won't make it again like this, but it's worth noting the differences. Summarized from the diary entry:

First, crispy duck skin. Last time I managed to burn it:

So this time I did it very gently. In fact, it took over half an hour, but it did what I wanted:

For reference:

quantity       ingredient       step
      duck skin       1
15 g       fat from cooking duck       1
55 g       duck flesh       2
25 g       spring onion, cut into 8 mm slices       3
10 g       garlic       3
10 g       ginger       3
60 g       pok choi       4
70 g       orange sauce from canard à l'orange       5
4 g       cornflour       5
100 g       cooked Chef Lo noodles       6

I had planned other stuff in the sauce, but the quantity as it was was exactly correct. I also added chopped ginger (from a jar) because I could. This is the first time I've tried it, and it saves a lot of work. But it's much harder than chopped garlic, and it needs some spreading.

The result? Not bad, but I think this is a direction in which I can experiment. Maybe sweet and sour pork noodles?
