Poultry and Game Recipes - Stir-fried Duck with Bamboo Shoots and Almonds Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-6

  • 500 g/1 lb boneless duck

  • 2 slices of fresh root ginger, shredded

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 3 tablespoons oil

  • 3-4 dried Chinese mushrooms (optional)

  • 4 spring onions, sliced

  • 125 g/4 oz canned bamboo shoots, drained, rinsed and sliced

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

  • 2 teaspoons corn flour

  • 25 g/1 oz flaked almonds, toasted

Method:

  1. Cut the duck into small chunks and place in a bowl with the ginger and garlic. Pour over 1 tablespoon of the oil and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, soak the mushrooms, if using, in warm water for 15 minutes. Squeeze dry, discard the hard stalks, then slice the mushroom caps.

  3. Heat the remaining oil in a preheated wok or deep frying pan. Add the spring onions and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

  4. Add the duck and cook for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, soy sauce and sherry, and cook for 2 minutes.

  5. Blend the corn flour with 1 tablespoon water and stir into the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, until thickened. Serve hot, sprinkled with the almonds.
