Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the secret weapon for this delicious salad: the citrus dressing! In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of yuzu marmalade, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of plum syrup, 1/2 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Step 2
Using a whisk or a fork, stir the dressing ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfectly emulsified dressing. This is the magic yuzu dressing that will make your smoked duck and chives salad truly special!
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the smoked duck. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the 200g of smoked duck and sauté for about 2 minutes until it’s lightly golden and fragrant. This quick sauté enhances the duck’s savory flavor.
Step 4
Carefully transfer the sautéed smoked duck onto paper towels. The paper towels will absorb any excess oil, ensuring the salad’s flavors remain clean and bright. Set the duck aside to cool slightly while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 5
Next, prepare the fresh Korean chives. Wash the 100g of chives thoroughly under running water. Trim them and cut them into approximately 5cm lengths, making them easy to eat in the salad. Their fresh, oniony aroma will add a wonderful zing.
Step 6
Onions add a delightful crispness to the salad! Peel and thinly slice half an onion. Slicing them thinly will help them integrate better with the other ingredients and mellow out their sharp bite.
Step 7
It’s time to bring all the components together! In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared Korean chives, thinly sliced onion, and 30g of dried cranberries. Finally, pour the prepared citrus dressing generously over the ingredients.
Step 8
Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can bruise the delicate chives. Toss lightly until everything is beautifully coated.
Step 9
Arrange the dressed chive mixture attractively on a serving plate, perhaps in a circular pattern. This presentation makes the salad look even more appealing.
Step 10
Finally, top the beautifully arranged chive salad with the slightly cooled smoked duck in the center. Your vibrant and refreshing Smoked Duck and Chives Salad is ready to be enjoyed! It’s perfect as a light meal or a delightful side dish.
