Cooking Instructions:
1. Clean the duck very well. Cut the meat part that attached to its skin. Boil it in boiling water cut it a bite size and rest them drain in a filter.
2. Heat the pan on medium flame. Fry red onions, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, one after each one. When they get crunchy, remove from the pan and leave it drain in the filter.
3. Next, in the same pan, fry the boiled mandarin duck. When it turns gold and crunchy, remove and leave it drain.
4. Now, in a big bowl, add chili powder, lemon juice, fish sauce and mix well. Add fried red onion, lemongrass, kaffir lime leave, peanut, fried dry chili peppers and roasted uncooked rice.
Making it taste more or less sour and spicy are up to you. Balance the taste with sugar. Arrange fried mandarin duck on the plate and dress the spicy and sour salad on top.
Put fresh vegetables on a side, any kind that you like. I would love to have cucumber, long string bean, cabbage, winged bean for sure, and eggplants. Laab Bped Tod Grob is one of my favorite recipes from Sisaket. 🙂 You can either grill the duck or fry before you mix with Isaan spicy and sour salad.
