Deep-Fried Duck With Plum Sauce Recipe - Cooking Index
The preparation works best with a high BTU burner (30K or more) and a large pot with plenty of oil, but it can be done in the home kitchen as well.
Courses: Main Course4 | Mallards - skin intact | |
2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | Flour |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Garlic powder |
1/4 cup | 15g / 0.5oz | Onion powder |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Salt |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Cayenne pepper |
Peanut or corn oil - for frying | ||
1 cup | 237ml | Plum preserves |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Applesauce |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Minced fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Cornstarch |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Soy sauce |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Rice vinegar |
Pat ducks dry with paper towels. Combine flour with next 5 ingredients and season ducks with flour. Heat enough oil to submerge ducks completely. When oil is hot, about 375 degrees, but not smoking, add ducks, one at a time. Allow a few minutes between ducks so that oil can maintain temperature. Turn ducks over 1 or 2 times and remove after 8 minutes.
To prepare sauce, heat plum preserves and applesauce in a small pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and then add to pan. Heat until it starts to thicken. Serve plum sauce on the side for dipping with ducks.
