- Shiitake mushrooms 2 (stems removed, thinly sliced)
- Yellow bell pepper 1/4 (thinly julienned)
- Cucumber 1/4 (thinly sliced or julienned)
- Onion 1/8 (thinly julienned)
- Green or red chili pepper 1 (seeds removed, finely chopped – adjust for spice preference)

- Prepared mustard 1 Tbsp
- Honey or corn syrup 1 Tbsp
- Minced garlic 1 Tbsp
- Prepared mustard 1 Tbsp
- Honey or corn syrup 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the smoked duck in an air fryer and cook at 170°C (340°F) for 7 minutes until lightly browned. This process helps to render the excess fat, resulting in a more tender and less greasy duck.
Step 2
Once cooked, gently press the smoked duck with a paper towel to absorb any remaining oil. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces and arrange it attractively on a serving plate. This preparation ensures you enjoy the duck’s rich flavor without heaviness.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables: tear the oyster mushrooms, thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, and julienne the yellow bell pepper, onion, and chili pepper. Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the prepared vegetables and stir-fry quickly over high heat, aiming to keep them crisp-tender.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of prepared mustard and 1 tablespoon of honey (or corn syrup) in a 1:1 ratio. Whisk thoroughly until smooth to create a well-balanced honey mustard sauce.
Step 5
Arrange the sliced cucumber and the stir-fried vegetables on the plate with the smoked duck. Drizzle the prepared honey mustard sauce over the top, according to your preference. This creates a harmonious dish of fresh vegetables and savory duck.
Step 6
For a refreshing twist, serve with naengmyeon (Korean cold noodles). Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the naengmyeon noodles and gently separate them with cooking chopsticks as they cook to prevent clumping. Be careful, as the noodles cook very quickly.
Step 7
Once the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. This rinsing process cools the noodles, making them firmer and chewier, and removes excess starch for a cleaner taste. Drain them completely.
Step 8
Serve the drained naengmyeon noodles in a bowl, accompanied by the prepared smoked duck, stir-fried vegetables, and sliced cucumber. You can pour cold naengmyeon broth over it for a refreshing mul-naengmyeon or toss it with spicy gochujang-based sauce for bibim-naengmyeon, enjoying a fuller flavored meal with the duck.
