Method

Duck Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Season the duck breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the duck and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until medium rare. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

Tom Yum Broth

  1. 3

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine chicken or vegetable broth with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai bird chilies. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Broth

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the broth simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

  3. 5

    Season the Broth

    Add fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar to the broth, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the rested duck breasts thinly. Ladle the Tom Yum broth into bowls, adding sliced duck on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and sliced red chilies.

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately, allowing each guest to adjust the heat by adding more chilies if desired.
