Instructions
- Combine the glutinous rice flour, rice flour, steamed meat powder, fine chili powder, 5g of salt, and white pepper powder in a bowl and mix well.
- Ask the vendor to cut the duck into steaming-sized pieces. Slice the ginger, peel the garlic cloves, and slice the pork belly.
- Heat the wok with cool oil and stir-fry the pork belly until the fat renders out. Add more cooking oil, heat it up, and then add the duck pieces to stir-fry.
- Stir-fry the duck until the skin turns browned and slightly crispy. Add the ginger, garlic, and remaining salt, and continue stir-frying to release the aromas.
- Reduce the heat to low, pour in the rice flour mixture, and toss to coat the duck meat evenly. Add boiling water in small amounts multiple times, stirring continuously as you add it.
- Continue stir-frying until the duck and rice flour mixture becomes moist. Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Place the bowl in a pressure cooker with water and steam for 20-25 minutes.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy.
Additional Notes
This is a hometown dish. The breed of duck does not matter; water ducks were used here, priced at 24. Steaming for 20 minutes is sufficient; if using an old duck, steam for over an hour. In the first step, rice flour is the primary ingredient, providing the main texture. Glutinous rice flour adds a soft and chewy mouthfeel. Steamed meat powder adds a five-spice aroma. The chili powder and pepper powder contribute a complex, layered fragrance.
