Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Chop the garlic chives and Korean parsley into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long. Slice the onion and carrot similarly. Trim the tough ends off the mushrooms and separate them into individual pieces. Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and drain them completely. Cut the smoked duck meat into manageable pieces. Have your raw bean flour and all the dipping sauce ingredients measured and ready.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to coat the vegetables with bean flour. In a large bowl, combine the drained bean sprouts, sliced carrots, and prepared mushrooms. Add 50g of the raw bean flour and toss everything gently until each piece of vegetable is evenly coated. Meanwhile, bring your steamer to a rolling boil over high heat. Layer the bean-flour-coated vegetables in the steamer, followed by a layer of smoked duck meat. Add another layer of coated vegetables, then top with the remaining smoked duck. Sprinkle the rest of the bean flour over the top. Cover the steamer tightly and steam over high heat for 6 minutes. Ensuring a good seal on the lid is important to trap the steam effectively.
Step 3
Next, prepare the aromatic garlic chives, Korean parsley, and enoki mushrooms by coating them with bean flour. In a separate bowl, toss the garlic chives and Korean parsley with 20g of raw bean flour. Gently coat the enoki mushrooms with 10g of raw bean flour. Carefully arrange these coated ingredients on top of the duck and vegetables that have already steamed for 6 minutes. Steam everything together over high heat for another 2 minutes. After turning off the heat, let the steamer sit, undisturbed with the lid on, for 2 more minutes. This resting period allows the ingredients to finish cooking gently and absorb all the wonderful flavors.

Voila! Your ‘Smoked Duck and Vegetable Steamed with Bean Flour,’ packed with nutrition and flavor, is now ready. The delicious combination of savory bean flour, chewy duck, and fresh vegetables creates a visually appealing and tempting dish.
