Ingredients

Duck Breast

Plum Wine Sauce

Basmati Rice Blend

Preparation

Duck Breast Preparation

1. Score the Duck Breasts

Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

2. Season the Duck

Rub the scored duck breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. Render the Fat

Place the duck breasts skin-side down in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 6-8 minutes, allowing the fat to render and the skin to become crispy.

4. Cook to Temperature

Flip the duck breasts and continue cooking for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Plum Wine Sauce Preparation

5. Combine Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine plum wine, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

6. Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Basmati Rice Blend Preparation

7. Rinse the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

8. Cook the Rice

In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.

9. Add Broth and Season

Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

10. Fluff and Garnish

Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in chopped scallions before serving.
