Braised Duck Rice (HALAL!) 鸭饭
bring the hawker to your home with this amazing, foolproof recipe!
we were so inspired by our friend The Pantry Boy, with a recipe he shared with a year ago, of Braised Duck Rice (鸭饭) he learnt from a hawker stall owner. we decided to try it out and GOODNESS ME it turned out to be one of the best things we got to put into our mouths.
the aromatic and rich duck, laced with spice and balanced sweetness of rock sugar, alongside an umami yam rice, studded with salty dried shrimp… it was an iftar meal we couldn’t forget!
with some determination & effort, we hope you get to try making some at home too!
