If you are looking for Japanese Duck Teriyaki, you are in the right place! Unlike traditional teriyaki recipes, which need the meat to marinate before grilling, first, sear the duck breast in this recipe and then simmer it in teriyaki sauce.
Duck Breast Teriyaki
It’s a delicious and simple meal that you can customize by changing in and out components.
Earlier, I had no idea where to find mirin or sake. And the only thing I knew about Japanese soy sauce was its high price.
Nowadays, we can make teriyaki (soy sauce, sake, and mirin) at any moment.
This duck teriyaki recipe calls for searing the duck before braising it in teriyaki sauce; there will almost certainly be a lot of drained duck fat in the pan after roasting, and it’s normal.
Duck skin is quite fatty. After you sear the duck in the pan, a pool of rendered fat will form around it. You won’t utilize that fat in this meal, but don’t throw it away because it’s full of flavor. Chill it and store it in a covered jar in the refrigerator.
Duck does not require a special occasion to enjoy at home. If preparing a whole bird on a busy day is too much work, fully deboned duck breast is available in better grocery stores and supermarkets. A simple way to indulge is to cook it with teriyaki sauce.
