Duck Noodle Soup

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:00:12 -0600

Saw this recipe and it's a cheats way to make the dish by using confit duck out of a tin rather than using peking/crispy shredded duck.

Also very simple with not many ingredients.
Here is a video of the recipe
Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking here to see links.

2 confit duck legs, from a jar
1 tbsp clear Honey
1 tsp Chinese five spice
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tsp Sesame oil
100g egg noodles
½ litres chicken stock
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp Sesame oil
4 Spring onions, sliced
bunch Watercress

1. Scrape off any excess fat from the duck legs with a knife to prevent the soup becoming too greasy.

2. Mix together the honey, Chinese five-spice powder and half of the soya sauce in a bowl.

3. Heat a pan over a medium hob and place the duck legs in the hot pan. Pour over the honey mixture and cook gently until sticky and glossy. Remove the legs from the pan and shred the meat.

4. Cook the noodles in a saucepan of boiling water with a pinch of salt until tender. Drain well.

5. Heat the stock in a large saucepan, add the remaining soy sauce and the oyster sauce and sesame oil and stir to combine. Add salt to taste.

6. Tip in the spring onions, noodles and duck.

7. To serve, divide among two bowls and garnish with watercress.

Crispy Kale, oh my God!

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:37:12 -0600

Sheesh, I'd never have believed it. I was reading about "crispy kale" or "crispy kale chips" and how good they were, so I had to try it for myself. Wow, it's no lie! They were better than potato chips, I swear! Tonight, hubby and I ate off of this recipe:

Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking here to see links.

Be careful with the salt, as ours came out a bit too salty. Nevertheless, it was incredibly tasty. I will be having this often. Next time, though, I want to try it this way:

1 bunch kale
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, avoiding the stem. Put them in a ziploc bag.

Mix 1 tbsp. olive oil with 3/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Pour into the bag containing the kale. Shake to coat each leaf. Make sure each leaf is lightly covered.

Put kale onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly sprinkle with salt (or your favorite seasoning) to taste. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy.
