Spicy duck necks, a beloved street food snack, offer a perfect blend of tender meat, fiery heat, and aromatic spices. Here’s a detailed guide to crafting this addictive treat at home.
Ingredients:
1 kg duck necks, 2-3 dried chilies, 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, 5 cloves garlic, 1 thumb-sized ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 cup chicken broth, and cooking oil.
Steps:
1. Prep: Clean duck necks thoroughly, removing any residual fat. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then boil for 5 minutes to blanch. Rinse and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a wok. Add dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant.
3. Cook Duck Necks: Toss in the duck necks, searing until slightly browned. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, coating evenly.
4. Simmer: Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender.
5. Reduce Sauce: Uncover, increase heat, and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens and clings to the necks. Adjust saltiness or spiciness to taste.
Serving: Garnish with sesame seeds or cilantro. Enjoy warm as a snack or with rice. For extra heat, add more dried chilies or a dash of chili oil. These duck necks stay flavorful for days when refrigerated!
