CHINESE DUCK BREAST

CHINESE DUCK BREAST

CHINESE DUCK BREAST

This Chinese Duck Breast recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor in the comfort of your own kitchen, all while staying true to ketogenic principles. Tender, juicy duck breast with crispy skin glazed in a savory-sweet Chinese-inspired sauce – it's a delightful meal that's surprisingly easy to prepare. The rich fats from the duck are perfect for a keto diet, providing satiety and essential nutrients. Prepare to be amazed at how simple it is to achieve such an exquisite dish.

Ingredients

2 duck breasts (about 170g each)

2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener)

1 tsp ginger, grated

1 tsp garlic, minced

1/2 tsp five-spice powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp avocado oil (or other high-heat oil)

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the Duck: Score the duck skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This allows the fat to render properly and creates crispy skin. Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

    2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, erythritol, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).

    3. Sear the Duck: Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Reduce heat to medium if the skin is browning too quickly.

    4. Finish Cooking: Flip the duck breasts and cook for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

    5. Glaze the Duck: Pour the Chinese-inspired sauce over the duck breasts in the skillet. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 1-2 minutes, basting the duck breasts with the sauce.

    6. Rest and Slice: Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This helps to retain the juices and ensures a tender result.

      Pro Tips

      For extra crispy skin, you can briefly blast the duck breast skin-side up under the broiler for the last minute or two of cooking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

      Variations: Add a splash of Shaoxing wine to the sauce for a more authentic flavor.

      If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a small amount of xanthan gum (about 1/8 tsp) to the sauce while it simmers.

      Servings & Cook Time

      Servings: 2

      Prep time: 10 minutes

      Cook time: 20 minutes

      Serving Suggestions

      Serve the sliced Chinese duck breast over a bed of cauliflower rice or stir-fried vegetables (such as bok choy or broccoli) for a complete keto-friendly meal. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal. The vibrant colors and textures create an elegant and satisfying dish. For plating, arrange the sliced duck breast artfully over the vegetables, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top. This Chinese duck breast recipe will impress family and friends.
