Bumbu kering untuk bebek: Campur semua
- ½ st Bumbu ngohiong, ½ st Jahe bubuk, ¾ st Garam

Bahan lain:
- 2-2½ sm Bumbu kari merah Thailand **, Lada bubuk
- 350 ml Santan, 150 ml Santan kental, 6 Daun jeruk
- 200 gr Nanas/Apel/Lychee-iris2, 10 Tomat cherry

- 3 sm Kecap ikan, 1 sm Gula merah sisir, Garam
- 2 Terong bulat-potong2 atau 40 gr Tekokak
- 1 mangkuk Daun kemangi manis/Kemangi
Cara membuat
- Cuci lalu keringkan bebek. Iris sisi daging bebek memanjang (kedalaman ½-1 cm-jangan potong sampai ke kulit). Tiap irisan berjarak 2-2½ cm. Lumuri semua sisi daging dengan bumbu kering. Lalu ulasi dengan campuran saus soya pekat & rum. Balik posisi bebek, lumuri seluruh bagian kulitnya dengan campuran garam & cuka. Simpan bebek terbuka dengan posisi kulit menghadap ke atas di dalam kulkas selama minimal 2 jam sampai semalaman. Keluarkan bebek 20 menit sebelum dimasak agar kembali ke suhu ruang dulu. Lap kulit bebek agar benar2 kering. Kerat2 kulit bebek per 1-1½ cm (jangan sampai tembus ke daging) agar lemak di bawah dapat mencair keluar selama memasak.
- Bila menggunakan santan kaleng, simpan kaleng di kulkas selama 1-2 jam sebelum digunakan. Buka kaleng & ambil bagian yang solid/kentalnya saja untuk memasak bumbu. Simpan sisanya.
- Panaskan oven 200° C. Buang batang tengah dari daun jeruk. Iris 3 lembar daun jeruk kecil2 lalu sisanya diiris2 halus. Sisihkan semua.
- Panaskan wajan anti lengket berdasar tebal tanpa minyak di atas api sedang. Setelah panas, kecilkan api ke sedang-kecil. Letakkan bebek di dalamnya dengan posisi kulit menghadap ke bawah. Masak selama ± 8 menit sampai kulit bebek mengering & kuning kecokelatan. Lapisan lemak akan mencair hingga akan tampak ada cairan lemak di wajan. Balik posisi bebek & masak juga sisi satunya 2-3 menit. Masukkan bebek ke oven, panggang dengan posisi kulit menghadap ke atas selama 8-10 menit untuk bebek mencapai ½ matang (panggang lebih lama untuk benar2 matang). Keluarkan dari oven lalu istirahatkan bebek selama 5-10 menit.
- Sementara itu, panaskan 100 ml bagian solid dari santan di wajan/pan dengan api sedang-besar. Aduk terus hingga santan meletup2 selama ± 2 menit. Masukkan bumbu kari merah, potongan daun jeruk & rawit/cabai padi. Aduk terus sampai santan berminyak (2-3 menit). Bila anda menggunakan santan kaleng & minyak tak mau terbentuk/terpisah juga, tambahkan sedikit minyak kelapa ke dalam santan. Masukkan terong/tekokak, santan & sisa santan kental. Didihkan & masak hingga terong mulai layu.
- Masukkan tomat cherry, nanas, kecap ikan, gula merah, garam & lada. Masak sambil sesekali diaduk sampai tomat mulai pecah & rasa menyatu. Cicipi, sesuaikan bumbu bila perlu. Matikan api, masukkan daun kemangi lalu aduk rata
- Iris2 bebek setebal 1-1½ cm. Letakkan kari & sayuran di piring saji. Susun irisan bebek di piring tersebut, lalu taburi dengan irisan daun jeruk & cabai merah. Sajikan kari bebek panggang merah dengan nasi hangat atau mie.
- * Rum tidak harus digunakan bila tidak suka. Rum dapat diganti dengan Shaoxing wine/dry sherry.

Ingredients
Duck ingredients:
- 2 Duck breasts halves fillet with skin (650-675 gr)
- 1 tsp Salt+1 tsp Rice vinegar-combine
- 2 tsp dark Soy sauce+1 tsp Rum*-mix
Dry ingredients for the duck: combine all
- ½ tsp 5-Spice powder, ¾ tsp Salt, 1 tsp Sugar
- ½ tsp ground Pepper, ½ tsp Ginger powder
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
Other ingredients:
- 2-2½ tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste **, Salt
- 200 gr Pineapple/Apple/Lychee-slice into bite size
- 3 tbsp Fish sauce, 1 tbsp Palm sugar, Pepper
- 350 ml Coconut milk, 150 ml Coconut cream
- 1 Red chili & 2 Birds eye chilies-thinly sliced
- 2 Apple eggplant-sliced or 40 gr Pea eggplants
- 10 Cherry tomatoes, 6 Kaffir lime leaves
- 1 cup of Sweet/Thai basil leaves
Directions
- Wash & then pat the duck dry with paper towels. Slash the duck meat lengthwise (½-1 cm deep-don`t cut the skin). Each slash should be 2-2½ cm apart. Rub the meat parts with dry ingredients & then brush it with dark soy sauce & rum mixture. Flip the duck over. Brush duck skin with the salt & vinegar mixture. Store the duck, skin side up, uncovered, in the fridge for at least 2 hours-overnight. Take duck out from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking, so it will return to room temperature. Pat the duck skin dry. Score the duck skin 1-1½ cm apart (don’t score the meat) to allow the fat layer under the skin to render during cooking.
- If you`re using caned coconut milk, set the can in the fridge for 1-2 hours before using it. Open up the can & scoop out the thicken/solid coconut cream part for sautèing the curry paste later on & save the left over coconut water/juice.
- Preheat the oven to 200° C/400° F. Discard kaffir lime leaves stems. Slice 3 of the leaves into small pieces & thinly slice the rest. Set it all aside.
- Heat a non-stick heavy skillet/pan without any oil over medium heat. After the pan is hot, turn the heat to medium-low. Place duck in the skillet, skin side down. Sear for ~ 8 minutes until the skin dries & the colour turns golden brown. The fat layer under the skin will render & will be present in the pan as liquid fat. Flip the duck over to cook the other side as well for 2-3 minutes. Place the duck in the oven; roast for 8-10 minutes for medium rare (longer for well-done). Remove from the oven & allow duck to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, heat 100 ml of the coconut cream in a wok/deep pan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until it’s bubbling (~ 2 minutes). Add in the curry paste, small sliced kaffir lime leaves & bird`s eye chilies. Keep on stirring until the liquid becomes greasy (2-3 minutes). If you`re using a caned coconut milk & the oil won`t formed/separated out, add a bit of coconut oil into the liquid. Add in eggplants, coconut milk & the rest of coconut cream. Bring it to a boil & cook until the eggplants starts to wilt.
- Put in tomatoes, pineapple, fish sauce, palm sugar, salt & pepper. Bring it to a simmer, cook until tomatoes starts to break & the flavour blended; stir occasionally. Taste, adjust seasoning if it`s necessary. Turn off the stove & then stir in basil leaves.
- Slice the duck breasts into 1-1½ cm thick pieces. Place the curry & vegetables in a serving plate Arrange sliced duck on the plate. Garnish with sliced kaffir lime leaves & red chilies. Serve the roast duck curry with steamed rice or noodles.
- * You could omit the Rum if you don’t like it. You could also substitute Rum with Shaoxing wine/dry Sherry
