Pan Fried Duckling Recipes

PAN-FRIED DUCK BREAST WITH SPRING VEG

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes, halving any larger ones, in a pan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes, or until tender.
• Meanwhile, score the skin of the duck breast at 2cm intervals, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Place the duck skin-side down in a cold non-stick frying pan, then turn the heat on to medium-high. Cook for 8 minutes without moving it, or until the fat is well rendered and the skin is golden and crispy.
• Turn the duck over and cook for 4 minutes on the other side, then remove to a plate to rest, leaving the pan of duck fat on the heat.
• Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and add the spears to the potato pan for the last 5 minutes, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes, then drain it all and leave to stream dry.
• Finely chop the chilli and mint leaves (reserving a few pretty baby leaves), and place in a large bowl. Finely grate in the lemon zest and squeeze in half the juice, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, mix together and season to perfection.
• Halve the asparagus spears, then tip all the warm vegetables into the dressing and mix well. Divide between your plates, then slice the duck and arrange over the top. Scatter over the reserved baby mint leaves to finish.

PAN FRIED DUCK BREAST

Steps:

• Score each duck breast's skin with a sharp knife, ensuring not to cut into the meat.
• Season generously with salt and leave the duck breasts to stand for 15 minutes. Pat both sides dry with a paper towel.
• Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold frying pan and switch on the heat to a medium-high setting.
• Wait. Leave the duck undisturbed for around 3-5 minutes (depending on size of breasts) and watch as the fat melts, which lubricates the meat. Using a spatula or tongs, you can press down on the meat side to ensure the skin is evenly cooked.
• Flip the breasts over and cook for 3-4 minutes, all depending on how well you like your duck cooked.
• We advise medium-rare pink. If the duck is thicker on one side, tip the breasts onto the thick sides and allow to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve with your choice of vegetables and accompanying sauce. I suggest dauphinoise potatoes, steamed broccoli and orange sauce. Enjoy!

PAN-FRIED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Blend first 4 ingredients in a food processor. Add vegetables. Using on/off turns, pulse until vegetables are just minced. Drain excess liquid from vegetable mixture. Arrange 12 wonton wrappers on work surface. Lightly brush edges of wrappers with water. Spoon 1 tablespoon vegetable mixture into center of each wrapper. Top with remaining wonton wrappers, pressing to enclose filling completely. Using ravioli cutter or sharp knife, cut edges of wontons. Heat canola oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry dumplings until just golden, about 1 minute per side. Bake until dumplings are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer dumplings to serving tray. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve with dipping sauce.

PAN-FRIED DUMPLINGS WITH CRISPY LATTICE

Steps:

• For the filling: Combine the pork, Napa cabbage, garlic chives, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, wine, toasted sesame oil and salt in a medium bowl and mix well.
• For the dumplings: Spoon about 1/2 ounce of filling on a wrapper and wet the edge with some water. Fold the wrapper in half into a half-moon and seal the edge. Pleat the edge and sit the dumpling with the folds standing up. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Preheat a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add a little canola oil and arrange 6 to 8 of the dumplings bottoms-down in a nice star pattern or circle. Sear the dumplings for 30 to 45 seconds to brown the bottoms. Add 4 tablespoons water, cover with a lid and cook until the pan is dry, about 3 minutes. Drizzle in a little sesame oil and turn the heat up to medium high to brown the bottoms again (keep the lid off but watch so the dumplings do not burn).
• Squirt a few tablespoons of the Lattice Mix around the dumplings. Cover the pan for 45 seconds. Remove the lid and cook until the lattice mix is crispy and golden brown. Remove the dumplings with a thin large spatula and flip them over in one piece onto a plate to reveal the golden-brown bottom. Repeat with the remaining dumplings and Lattice Mix. Serve with the soy-ginger-vinegar Dipping Sauce.
• Mix the cornstarch and water in a squeeze bottle.
• Combine the soy sauce, vinegar and ginger in a small bowl.

PAN-SEARED DUCK BREAST WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl mix together the salt, ground black pepper, thyme, and rosemary; set aside. This will be your spice blend for seasoning the roasted potatoes and the duck breasts.
• Place cubed potatoes into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of your spice blend over the top of the potatoes. Toss the potatoes in the pan until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Spread into a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
• While the potatoes are roasting, stir together the blueberries, water, apple juice, sugar, and jalapeno in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the mixture has reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 10 minutes.
• Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pancetta to drain on a paper towel, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Add the shallots and the mushrooms to the hot skillet; stir and cook them until soft and just beginning to brown. Remove the shallots and mushrooms and set aside. Increase heat to medium-high and place the bok choy in the hot skillet. Stir and cook the bok choy until the leaves are wilted and the white stalk pieces are tender, about 5 minutes. Return the shallots, mushrooms, and pancetta to the skillet, turn off the heat and set aside.
• Rinse the duck breast halves and pat dry. Rub the remaining spice blend onto both sides of the duck breasts. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, when the pan is hot put in the vegetable oil and butter. Immediately place the duck breasts in the pan, skin and fat side down. Do not move the duck breasts until the skin is deep brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part is 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Remove the duck from the pan and place on a plate, covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes. While the duck is resting, place the skillet with the bok choy mixture onto a burner over medium heat to warm through.
• Slice each duck breast diagonally into 1/2 inch strips. Divide the bok choy mixture among four plates and drizzle each serving with 1/2 tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar. Arrange the sliced duck breasts on top of the bok choy mixture; ladle on blueberry sauce. Serve with oven-roasted potatoes on the side.

PAN-FRIED SOUP DUMPLINGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the hot water, gelatin, soy sauce, and chicken stock and mix well. Transfer the soup to a shallow heatproof tray and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until set.
• When set, fluff the soup and break up with a fork.
• Add the flour and baking powder to a medium bowl. Pour the hot water over the flour mixture, and mix the dough gently to combine.
• Using your hands, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
• For the filling, combine the ground pork, green onion, shiitake mushroom, ginger, garlic, sugar, sake, sesame oil, and soy sauce until well mixed.
• Roll the dough into a log. Divide it into 16 pieces.
• Take one piece and shape into a ball, then roll into flat round using a rolling pin. Put a spoonful of filling and soup gelatin into the center of the dough. Pinch the top a couple times to close the dumpling.
• Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings.
• Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Set the dumplings in a pan, seam side down, pour in the water, and cover.
• Steam the dumplings for 12 minutes.
• Add the sesame oil in the pan, increase the heat to high, and cook until the bottoms of the dumplings are crisp.
• Serve with sesame seeds and sliced green onion.
• Enjoy!

PAN-FRIED DUCKLING

Steps:

• Cut the duck into 6 or 8 serving pieces, reserving the wing tips, back and neck for stock. (Cut the gizzard into 1/8-inch thick slices, and fry it along with the duck if you like; reserve the liver for another use.) Place the duck pieces, skin side down, in a 12-inch skillet, and sprinkle it liberally with salt and pepper. Add garlic and thyme sprigs if desired, and turn the heat to medium-high. When the duck begins to sizzle, cover the skillet and lower the heat to medium.
• After 15 minutes, turn the duck, season the skin side, then cover and cook for 15 minutes more. Uncover the skillet and turn the heat back to medium high. Cook the duck, turning it as necessary, so that it browns nicely on both sides; this will take 15 minutes more.
• Serve hot or at room temperature. Strip some of the leaves from the remaining thyme sprigs, and use them as a garnish.
