METHOD
Spice paste
- Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste.
Duck
- Pat the duck dry with paper towel. Spread the spice paste over the skin and internal cavity of the duck so it is liberally coated. Wrap the duck in the banana leaves.
- Place the wrapped duck into the solid stainless steel tray and cover loosely with foil. Steam at 100°C for 90 minutes or until the duck is cooked through.
Coconut chilli sauce
- In a small saucepan combine coconut cream, palm sugar, fish sauce and chilli jam. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boiling point. Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice. Keep warm.
To assemble
- Remove the duck from the oven and discard the banana leaves.
- When the duck is cool enough to handle (about 10 minutes). Remove the breast and leg meat from the bones and shred the meat with your fingers.
- In a bowl combine the shredded duck with the watercress, bean sprouts, shredded ginger and basil, sliced chilli and shallots. Add sufficient of the warm Coconut Chilli Sauce to lightly coat the salad ingredients and toss to combine.
- Arrange on plates to serve.
Hints and tips
- Candlenuts must always be blanched or cooked before using.
