Duck Hot and Sour Soup

Duck Hot and Sour Soup

As waterfowl season is upon us I always like to find new ways to prepare these proteins. This is a take on one of my favorite soups and it works with either duck or goose.


Duck Hot and Sour Soup

  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seed oil

  • 2 duck breasts, thinly cut

  • 3 cups of shiitake mushrooms, sliced

  • 6 cups of chicken stock

  • 2 cups of bamboo shoots

  • 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons of white pepper

  • 1 tablespoon of red chili garlic sauce

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 5 green onions, chopped

Heat the oil to a medium heat and add the duck. Keep stirring and cook until browned, then add the mushrooms and cook 1 minute more. Next, add all the other ingredients, except the eggs and onions. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and whisk in the eggs to feather it into the soup then stir in the onion. Cook at a simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
