Jessierose215 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 My husband and I are english teachers in South Korea. Beef in Korea is really expensive. I can find pork, chicken, and duck pretty easily. Anyone have recipes for duck? And I don't mean a whole duck. I don't have a oven for that. Thanks in advance.

MrsStick Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Welcome to Korea - my husband and I have been living in Seoul since the end of March. I don't have too much duck cooking knowledge since the only way I've eaten it is roasted. Do you have an oven at all? Or just a stovetop? You could cut it into pieces or spatchcock it (cut out the backbone so that the bird lays flat). I've also seen people with countertop ovens here but haven't bought one yet because I do have an oven...barely fits a 9x13 pan, but it's still an oven.

gswh2 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Where in Korea are you guys? I will be transferred to Okpo this coming December. I really enjoyed it last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessierose215 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 We've been living in Mokpo (southwestern corner) for 2 years now. We love it, and planning on staying a couple more years. We have a bigger sized toaster oven but I hate using it in the summer because of all the heat it puts off. It's been a huge adjustment this past year as we moved to a new place last August. The new place had half a kitchen as the one did last year, and the kitchens here are already small. You know how officetels can be. SO this past year we have eaten out WAY more than we should have. I am starting my Whole30 next week and it will be a big difference cooking so much. In the end though I know it will be better. Thanks for the thoughts on cooking the duck, MrsStick!

MelissaMerlin Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I guess we should change the topic to "the hardships of cooking in korea"! Hahaha!My kitchen is ridiculous too, and buying good stuff is a real challenge for my budget...Well, I will probably have more money to spend on groceries since I'll be staying away from alcol, bread, and... well, pretty much everything, since they love to put sugar in every darn thing... >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semolina Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Duck breasts: score the fat; fry fat-side down for 5 minutes on a high heat (open windows!); flip for 2 minutes; put in oven (hot) for 5 minutes. My fave duck recipe is a duck and mango salad: cook duck as above; assemble some salad leaves on a plate; shred some green beans (raw) and put on top; make a salsa with a mango, a chilli, some tomatoes, a red onion (finely diced) some parsley, lime juice and salt and pepper; mix, put on top of the green stuff on your plate. Slice your duck and off you go. I could eat that every day. MMmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
