Allergy-Free Recipe - Hot & Sour Duck

Method :

  1. Sprinkle the duck with the salt, cover lightly and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, place the tamarind pulp in a small bowl, pour over 4 tablespoons of hot water and leave for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Press the mixture through a sieve into another bowl to produce about 2 tablespoons of smooth juice.

  3. Place the tamarind juice in a food processor with the shallots, garlic, ginger, coriander, chilies and turmeric. Blend until smooth, adding a little more hot water if necessary, and reserve the paste.

  4. Heat a wok or large frying pan, add the oil and, when hot, stir-fry the duck in batches for about 3 minutes, or until just colored, then drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

  5. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil in the wok. Return to the heat. Add the paste and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Add the duck and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the bamboo shoots and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn into a warmed serving dish, garnish with a sprig of fresh coriander and serve immediately with rice.
