Duck Confit

Pad Thai Ingredients

Method

Duck Confit Preparation

1

Prepare the Duck

Rub duck legs with salt, thyme, and crushed garlic. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

2

Cook the Duck

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Rinse the duck legs and place them in a baking dish. Melt duck fat and pour over the duck legs until fully submerged. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2-3 hours until tender.

3

Glaze the Duck

Remove duck legs from the fat and brush with hoisin sauce. Broil for 5-7 minutes until caramelized.

Pad Thai Preparation

4

Prepare Rice Noodles

Soak rice noodles in hot water for 20-30 minutes until soft, then drain.

5

Char the Cabbage

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shredded cabbage and sauté until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

6

Cook the Pad Thai

In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until just set. Add the soaked rice noodles, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

7

Serve

Plate the Pad Thai topped with shredded duck confit, charred cabbage, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
