Main Dish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kimchi

    Dice the eggplant and mix it with soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Corn

    In a pan over medium heat, sauté the corn kernels in 1 tablespoon of lemongrass oil until they are slightly browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Cooking the Duck

  1. 3

    Sear the Duck Breasts

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern and season with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on a plate. Top with the marinated eggplant kimchi and serve alongside the sautéed corn. Drizzle with the remaining lemongrass oil for added flavor.
