Step by step cooking stewed duck in sweet and sour sauce, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the duck, dry with a paper towel and cut into pieces. If there is a black tan on the skin, then scrape it off with an iron sponge. If there is a lot of fat under the skin, remove it. Although, if you are not afraid of extra calories, you can leave it.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and place the duck pieces so they don't touch each other.
2. Fry it over a little over medium heat until golden brown.
3. Then add plum sauce, sugar, dried chives, garlic and hot red pepper to the skillet. Season food with salt and black pepper.
4. Stir the duck to marinade each bite. Turn the temperature on to the lowest setting and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer duck in sweet and sour sauce for 1-1.5 hours. The longer it takes to cook, the softer and more tender the meat will be. If there is not enough sauce for stewing and the meat starts to stick a little to the pan, add a little drinking water or put plum sauce.
Serve the cooked sweet and sour duck with mashed potatoes, baked vegetables or fresh vegetable salad.
