Duck and Broccoli Stir Fry 鴨 和 西 蘭 花 翻 炒

Do you Love duck but cannot be bothered with all those hours of prep work required for that crispy skin aromatic duck? Here is the solution!

This quick and easy recipe is an alternative to cooking a whole duck! All you need is a wok. 4 fresh ingredients and the rest you might likely have in your store cupboards.

It is always best to pan fry, render the fat out to produce that gamey flavour. The natural fat will add so much flavour and coats the duck with moisture. The pan fried fat of the skin really does make this dish a whole lot more flavoursome.

Your end result is crispy skins attached to the meats, succulent meat full of flavour and the broccoli soaks up the aromatic sauce.
