Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    Flip the duck breasts and cook for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bamboo Rice

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the diced apple and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the bamboo rice to the pan and stir to coat. Pour in the chicken or duck stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in fresh thyme and butter to the rice. Slice the duck and serve over the bamboo rice, drizzled with jus made from the duck drippings.
