Duck Leg Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Legs

    Season the duck legs with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the duck legs skin-side down until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the duck legs in the oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 3

    Make the Broth

    In a pot, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, and fish sauce. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pickle

    In a bowl, combine the julienned radish, togarashi seasoning, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to pickle.

  5. 5

    Cook the Noodles

    Prepare rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Sauté Shiitake Mushrooms

    In a skillet, sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms until soft and browned. Season with a pinch of salt.

  7. 7

    Serve

    In a bowl, place a portion of rice vermicelli, ladle the garlic-kaffir lime broth over it, top with duck leg, sautéed shiitake mushrooms, and togarashi pickle. Enjoy!
