The Basics

• Dish: Main Course
• cuisine: Chinese
• Serves: 1
• Prep Time: 0hrs 25 mins
• Cooking Time: 0hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 med duck breast
• 400ml 400ml Shaoxing wine
• 1 litre vegetable oil
• 6tsp corn flour
• 1tsp Szechuan pepper
• 1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 250g green beans
• 2 tablespoons hoi sin sauce
• small bunch spring onion finely sliced (green bits only)
• 1 tsp soy sauce

Method

1. Place the duck in a steamer basket. Pour the shaosing wine into a pan that sits neatly under the steamer and bring to the boil. Place the steamer basket on top, cover and steam the duck for 8 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, gently heat the vegetable oil to 160C in a heavy wok or small deep-fryer. Combine the cornflour and Szechuan pepper on a plate and set aside.

3. Place a large frying pan on the hob on fairly low heat. Add a pinch of salt, the chilli and garlic and cook for 1 minute.

4. Add the raw beans to the hot oil. Cook for approximately 2 mins.

5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beans from the oil and add them straight to the ingredients in the frying pan on a medium heat. Stir in the hoi sin sauce.

6. Toss the steamed duck breast in the seasoned flour before transferring it to the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes or until crisp.

7. Remove the duck from the oil and leave to drain on kitchen paper.

8. Place the beans on a large serving plate. Carve the duck into slices and arrange them over the beans. Finish with a squeeze of lemon, the soy sauce and the finely sliced spring onion. Serve with plain boiled rice.
