Ingredients

• 500 g duck breast
• 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 200 ml chicken stock
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp palm sugar
• 150 g baby eggplants
• 100 g bamboo shoots
• 4 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
• 20 g Thai basil leaves
• 2 pieces red chili (sliced)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 200 g jasmine rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the duck breast. Score the skin with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season lightly with salt.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the meat side for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest. Once cooled, slice the duck into thin strips.

Step 3

In a large saucepan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the Thai green curry paste and stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the paste. Add the chicken stock, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the baby eggplants, bamboo shoots, and Kaffir lime leaves. Simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced duck meat and let it heat through in the curry for about 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional fish sauce or sugar, if necessary.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and add the Thai basil leaves and sliced red chilies. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice, garnished with extra basil leaves or chili slices, if desired.
