Indonesian Duck Recipes: Spicy Duck, Roasted Duck

Who doesn’t love duck meat? It is just as delicious as chicken. Now if you want to make a duck dish, here are some Indonesian duck recipes that you can try. Duck dishes are quite easy to find in the country because this type of poultry is widely bred there. Your task is to find a food stall that offers foods made of duck. It has a unique texture which can easily be differentiated from chicken. Many people think that they taste the same. They are quite similar, but not the same. The first that we want to try is spicy duck. Here’s how to make it:

Spicy duck ingredients:

  • 1 whole duck, cut into 3 slices or more
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 kafir lime leaves
  • 1 turmeric leaf (this is not mandatory)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
  • 150 ml thick coconut milk
  • 250 ml water

Seasoning paste:

  • 4 big red chilies
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 5 shallots
  • 1 big tomato
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tbsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp pepper powder
  • 3 cm ginger
  • 2 cm galangal
  • 1 tsp pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Make a paste out of the seasoning ingredients. Then, heat oil in a large saucepan. Pour the paste into the pan and saute until it becomes fragrant. Next, you have to add the cinnamon, kafir lime lives, garlic, turmeric leaf, and bay leaves. Keep stirring until the paste thickens and the aroma gets stronger.
  2. Add the duck meat and cover the slices in paste. Lower the heat and keep cooking for like 5 minutes.
  3. Add water, bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer, and add coconut milk afterwards. Coconut milk should be added later to maintain its texture. Cook for about 30 minutes until the duck is tender.
    Remove the duck from the broth and set aside.
  4. The next step is to roast it.
  5. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Arrange the duck slices on a baking tray. The broth can also be poured all over the duck, so that it seeps into the meat while it is being cooked.
  6. Put it in the oven for about 25 minutes. At this point, the duck should’ve been completely well-done.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve with raw vegetables.

Now if you need another Indonesian duck recipe, here is a betutu duck recipe. This Balinese food is usually made using chicken. But since chicken and duck have similar tastes and textures, you can use them interchangeably. With duck, it’s usually a bit rougher, but we’re sure it will achieve the same level of tenderness when you cook it a bit longer. Here’s how to make it:

Betutu duck ingredients:

  • 1 whole duck
  • 300 g spinach leaves, shredded
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 cm turmeric
  • 1 roll of banana leaves for steaming

Seasoning paste ingredients:

  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 12 shallots
  • 2 cm ginger
  • 1 cm turmeric
  • 1 cm galangal
  • 4 candlenuts, crushed
  • 2 tsp shrimp paste, roasted
  • 5 red chilies, roughly chopped
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, crushed and tie to a knot
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves, sliced
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil
  • 1 tsp peppercorns, crushed
  • 2 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp grated palm sugar
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp water

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 ° C. While waiting, wash the duck with running water. Clean the inside of the duck and rub turmeric all over it.
  2. Mix the seasoning ingredients with a blender. Add some water and create a thick paste.
  3. Use the half portion of the seasoning paste to rub the whole part of the duck. Meanwhile, the rest should be combined with the spinach leaves. Stuff the duck with the spinach leaves and cinnamon stick. Wrap it in the banana leaf. If you can’t find any, the best replacement is aluminum foil. Just wrap it up before putting it in the oven.
  4. Cook it for 2 hours and check the texture if you want to know if it is well-done or not. Turn down the temperature for another hour just to make sure everything is properly cooked.
  5. Remove it from the oven and serve.
