Recipe Ingredients

4   Mallards - skin intact
2 cups 125g / 4.4ozFlour
1/4 cup 59mlGarlic powder
1/4 cup 15g / 0.5ozOnion powder
1/4 cup 59mlSalt
2 tablespoons 30mlFreshly-ground black pepper

1/2 cup 118mlApplesauce
1 teaspoon 5mlMinced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons 10mlCornstarch
2 tablespoons 30mlSoy sauce
2 tablespoons 30mlRice vinegar

Recipe Instructions

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.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
