Among the dishes from duck meat, boiled duck seems to be the simplest dish but it is not. Many women often wonder why the duck still has a fishy smell, the meat is too tough or too soft, sometimes still raw and red inside…
You can learn how to boil delicious and attractive duck meat from Thanh An’s recipe posted in the Yêu Bếp group to cook for the whole family!
Ingredients
Duck: 1 duck weighing about 2 – 2.5 kg; 1-2 young coconuts for getting water, 1-2 mokviewvietnamesedates, ginger: 2 bulbs; Dried onions: 1 bulb; Rice vinegar, white wine, lemongrass.
How to eliminate the fishy smell when preparing
Clean the duck, rub with lemon, salt, ginger or vinegar, wine as you like to eliminate the fishy smell, then rinse clean and dry.
The duckweed is the main cause of the strong fishy smell of boiled duck meat, so you should completely remove the duckweed because it is both smelly and not beneficial to health.
Another note is that you remember to remove the dirty tongue in the duck’s mouth.
How to boil duck meat without fishy smell
Boil 1 or 2 fresh young coconuts (do not use old coconuts), you can add water to cover the duck (do not add too much coconut water).
Put the duck in boiling water (boiling chicken is cold, but boiling duck is delicious only when it is boiling).
Reduce the heat, remove all foam if any. Roast the peeled ginger and add it along with some condiments (or lemongrass stalks), take a spoonful of coconut pulp and put it into the duck.
Cover the pot and simmer for about 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the duck. Then cut the melon in half and put it in (1 or 2 depending on the amount of duck) and simmer for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Soak the duck in the pot for about 15-20 minutes, then remove it.
The boiling water can remove some fat foam (if you don’t like to eat greasy water) by putting a few pieces of potatoes to cook until soft, then remove the melon, add a handful of water spinach + colander to use hot (water spinach absorbs some duck fat, so if you don’t remove the fat, eating it won’t be too greasy).
How to make duck dipping sauce
Ginger fish sauce will help the boiled duck be fragrant and flavorful.
First, cook sugar with water to make a caramel mixture. If using regular fish sauce like Nam Ngư, you don’t need to cook water with sugar, instead, cook fish sauce + sugar to make a caramel mixture with a salty, sweet taste according to the family’s taste.
Then, put the concentrated fish sauce into a bowl, squeeze lemon and season to taste.
Prepare tools to grind the ginger. If the ginger is too spicy, squeeze out some water to get the residue to reduce spiciness. If the ginger is not spicy, use it all, no need to squeeze out the water.
Finally, add chili if desired, if you like garlic, mince garlic and chili.
Wish you success!
