Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Duck breast halves
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
Rinse the duck breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the duck, turning them to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the duck is marinating, prepare the coating by mixing cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large shallow plate. Stir until well combined.
Remove the duck from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Dredge each duck breast in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating sticks well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the duck breasts skin side down in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 7-10 minutes per side.
Once evenly fried, remove the duck from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Let the duck rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein crispy fried duck!
