Yen Can Cook ~ Waxed Duck & Radish Soup
I bought 2 waxed duck legs before Chinese New Year and I used one piece for my Lap Mei Fan (steamed rice with waxed meat rice). The remaining one sitting in my cabinet until recently I whipped up today’s recipe. ππ
Although this is a quick soup dish which can be ready in 30 minutes but doesn’t compromise on flavour. The broth was richly infused with the unique flavor and aroma of the waxed duck leg chunks and the boiled to tender soft radish also equally tantalizing. Bookmark this recipe and try it out on next Chinese New Year! (^^)v
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
1 waxed duck leg, cut into bite size
1 radish, cut into 0.5cm thickΒ slices
1 thumb-sized ginger, sliced
1200ml water
Cooking oil
Salt to taste
Chopped spring onions (for garnishing, optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Bring a pot of water to boil, blanch the waxed duck leg for 3 minutes to remove excess oil. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat up some cooking oil in a saucepan and saute theΒ ginger until fragrant.Β
Step 3: Add in waxed duck leg (Step 1), stir fry for 2-3 minutes then add in sliced radish and continue stir fry for another 1 minute.
Step 4: Pour in water and bring to boil. Turn to medium heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the radish slices are soften.
Step 5: Add salt to taste. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions and serve.
HAPPY COOKING!Β #dudukrumahagain #stayhealthy





I love radish soup! Usually will also add dried cuttlefish tho!
KY, this radish soup is quick simple one, 30 minutes can gao dim!
I’m not a big fan of waxed duck. Even in lap mei fan, I find their flavour can be overpowering, so I wouldn’t dream of making a soup with it…..lol! π But I do love radish soup though (I usually boil with pork ribs, dried cuttlefish & peppercorns).
Kris, this radish soup is a simple and quick version while the one you mentioned need longer boiling time. I like the unique flavour of the waxed duck, always looking forward to have it during CNY period. π
I love to eat the waxed duck and all other waxed meat from China. I saw waxed dogs hanging in markets at Macau and cried!
I trust that your soup is definitely delicious with my favourite radish too. Bookmarked yes!
TM, oh no, waxed dog, that’s so gross!
