Method :
-
Put the duck slices in a bowl with 1
tablespoon of the soy sauce, the mirin, 1 teaspoon of the sugar and
one-third of the ginger, stir. Leave to stand.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large
heavy-based saucepan. Add the garlic and half the remaining ginger and
stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring
constantly, until translucent. Stir in all but 125ml / 4 fl oz of the
stock, with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, and bring to the boil. Season
with pepper. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer, covered, for 25-30
minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Cover and
leave to stand.
-
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying
pan or wok. Drain the duck strips and add to the frying pan. Stir-fry
for 2-3 minutes until just colored. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and
the remaining sugar and cook for 1 minute until glazed. Transfer to a
plate and keep warm.
-
Stir in the ham, mangetout, spring
onions, the remaining ginger and the chopped coriander. Add the
remaining stock and duck marinade and cook until the liquid is almost
reduced. Fork in the rice and a little chili sauce to taste (if using),
stir well. Turn into a serving dish and top with the duck. Garnish with
coriander sprigs and serve immediately.
