Description
A delicious twist on a classic dish featuring crispy duck confit served over jasmine rice with a flavorful miso sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 duck legs (about 1.5 pounds total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup duck fat (or vegetable oil)
- 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
- 1/4 cup miso paste (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Season the duck legs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place them in a baking dish, skin side up. Pour the duck fat over the legs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the duck legs from the fat and let them cool slightly. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Place the duck legs skin side up on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- While the duck is roasting, prepare the miso sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a crispy duck leg, then drizzle with the miso sauce.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, shredded carrots, cucumber, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute the duck with shredded rotisserie chicken.
- Add a soft-boiled egg on top of each bowl for extra richness and flavor.
