A thin mung bean crepe folded with egg, scallion, and fermented black bean paste for a savory breakfast parcel.

Ingredients

  • 700g whole duck
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • a handful of grated fresh ginger
  • a pinch of doubanjiang (chili bean paste)
  • 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
  • a generous handful of scallions
  • a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Shaoxing wine, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather and prep the glutinous rice and chicken thighs, measuring everything out so it is ready to go.

  2. 2

    Heat toasted sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the grated fresh ginger and bok choy, cooking gently until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chicken thighs, season with star anise, and cook until just done, about 5 mins.

  5. 5

    Warm the glutinous rice alongside, turning once, until heated through and lightly toasted.

  6. 6

    Plate the glutinous rice and spoon the cooked mixture over the top.

Tips

Prep the glutinous rice and chicken thighs the night before to make busy mornings much easier.

Keep the heat moderate so the chicken thighs cooks through gently without drying out or turning rubbery.
