This is one of my all time favourite duck recipe … Braised Duck with Ginger & Reddish Cheese …. a Chinese recipe and normally would be served up with rice but here, we dined the Western-style … just the braised duck with some Stir-Fried Soya Bean Sprouts as the main for our dinner 😉
some of the ingredients …. from top right clockwise … fresh ginger, dried chillies, reddish cheese, salted/fermented bean paste ..what’s missing here is the star anise which I added later on!
