How to make delicious braised duck with star fruit and coconut water

Step 1: Prepare ingredients

Clean the duck, remove the odor with wine, ginger, salt, then wash and drain. Next, chop the duck into bite-sized pieces, avoid chopping too small or crumbly because the meat will shrink after braising, become tough and not tasty.

After cutting, marinate the duck meat with a little fish sauce, pepper, seasoning powder (optional), oyster sauce (small amount), sesame oil (2-3 drops) and a little chopped onion, garlic, lemongrass.

Marinate the meat for about 30-60 minutes to let the meat absorb the spices.

Soak the mushrooms in warm water for about 10-15 minutes, then wash and cut off the stems.

Step 2: Stir-fry and braise the duck

Crush lemongrass, cut into long pieces and saute with minced onion and garlic, then add duck meat and stir-fry until cooked.

Add coconut water, shiitake mushrooms and star fruit and boil together, simmer for about 30-40 minutes, then add taro and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes. The taro should only be cooked until just done, and when the star fruit is cooked, mash it so the sourness permeates the broth.

Season to taste and add some chopped coriander, green onions, and Vietnamese coriander to make the dish more fragrant and colorful.
