Ingredients
- 400 g duck tongue
For marination
- 20 g ginger
- 20 g green onion
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine Chinese rice wine
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp cornstarch
For stir fry
- 10 g fresh chili pepper diced
- 20 g garlic minced
- 20 g green onion chopped
- 2 tsp cooking oil
- 2 tsp salt and pepper seasoning
- Cooking oil for deep frying
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Duck Tongue
- After washing the duck tongues, it is important to gently pat them dry using either paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step ensures that any excess water or moisture is removed from the surface of the duck tongues.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the duck tongue, ginger, green onion, Shaoxing wine, and light soy sauce. Now, it's time to give the mixture a Thai massage. Let the duck tongues marinate for ten minutes to allow the flavors to infuse and enhance their taste.
Step 2: Coating the Duck Tongue
- Crack an egg into the marinated duck tongue mixture and mix well, ensuring that the tongues are evenly coated with the egg.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the duck tongue mixture and toss until each tongue is perfectly coated. This step adds a delightful crispiness when the tongues are fried.
Step 3: Deep Frying the Duck Tongue
- In a deep pan or pot, heat the cooking oil for deep frying to 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully add the coated duck tongues to the hot oil and fry them for about 5 to 6 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.
- Once fried to perfection, remove the duck tongues from the oil and drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Stir-Frying with Salt and Pepper Seasoning
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tsp of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic, diced fresh chili pepper, and chopped green onions to the pan.
- Stir-fry until the garlic and green onions release their tantalizing aroma and the chili pepper slightly softens.
- Gently add the fried duck tongues to the pan and toss them with the salt and pepper seasoning until each tongue is fully coated.
