Instructions
- Firstly, take the duck thighs from the package and place them in a rice bowl for washing. You can buy the duck thighs from the local supermarket. Wash the duck thighs thoroughly under fresh flowing water. Also, if you wish to remove the bacteria present in the meat, add two teaspoons of turmeric and three teaspoons of curd and wash them well. This helps to remove any existing bacteria present in the flesh.Two duck thighs
- In a rice bowl, add two teaspoons of mirin, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, one teaspoon of sake. Mix well till the ingredients and some salt for taste. Now add some chili flakes and 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder and keep the rice bowl asideTeriyaki sauce, 2 tbsp Mirin, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tsp sesame oil
- Now, take an aluminum tray and place the washed duck thigh. Now pour two bowls of water into the tray for baking the meat. Now pour the marinade on the duck thighs. This marinade helps to provide the flavor for the meat.
- Now, place the tray in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 30 minutes, and then after that time, turn off the oven and keep the meat inside for another 30 minutes. This helps to provide a crispy outer layer, and the meat inside gets cooked well. To check if the duck is cooked, place a knife on one of the thigh parts. If it cuts easily, then it is ready for serving.
- After 1 hour, after the meat is cooled, take the thighs out from the oven and make sure to remove all the excess marinade from them by wiping with a clean kitchen napkin.
- For preparing the rice, soak the rice in water for 30 minutes. Once it is done, drain it and rinse it under running water. Drain the clean water and set it aside. Boil the rice in enough water for 45 minutes in boiling water. You can also use a pressure cooker for cooking rice if you have one.
- To check if the rice is cooked, take a small amount of rice in your hand and rub it on your palm. If the boiled rice is devoid of any moisture, it is ready to be used in the dish. Place the cooked rice aside for later use.½ cup rice
