Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep and start duck
2
  • Meanwhile, pat duck dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, score skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add duck to the dry pan, skin-side down.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Cook until skin is crispy, 7-10 min.
  • Flip and cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min. 
Make slaw and sauce
3
  • While duck cooks, on a clean cutting board, thinly slice cucumber.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) plum sauce and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix.
  • Add carrots, cucumbers, half the green onions and half the peanuts. Do not mix until step 6!
  • Combine half the oyster sauce and remaining plum sauce in a small bowl. (NOTE: This is your umami-plum sauce!)
Finish duck and prep
4
  • Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up. Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) fat from pan. 
  • Spread half the umami-plum sauce over duck.
  • Roast duck in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.** 
  • Meanwhile, cut mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Separate bok choy leaves, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt!)
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Make mushroom rice
5
  • Reheat the same pan over med-high.
  • When hot, add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until beginning to soften, 4-5 min.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, garlic and bok choy. Cook, stirring often until fragrant and butter melts, 1 min.
  • Fluff rice with fork, then add to pan with veggies. Add remaining oyster sauce. Stir to coat. 
  • Do not stir rice for 1-2 mins to let bottom fry slightly. Stir in remaining peanuts.
Finish and serve
6
  • When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min.
  • Mix cucumber slaw.
  • Thinly slice duck.
  • Divide rice and slaw between plates.
  • Top rice with duck.
  • Drizzle remaining umami-plum sauce over duck. Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.

  • Ease of prep: Some found the duck challenging to cook perfectly, with mixed results on achieving crispy skin.
  • Suggestions: Consider pan-searing the duck longer for crispier skin, and avoid adding sauce before roasting to maintain crispiness.
