Grilled Duck Laab
RECIPE COURTESY OF YIA VANG
Level: Easy
Total: 40 min
Active: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Four 7-ounce skin-on duck breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup toasted rice powder
1/3 cup chopped lemongrass
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup chopped shallots
3 to 4 Thai bird chiles, chopped
Juice of 3 limes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup bean sprouts
1/3 cup matchstick-sliced carrots
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped scallion
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves
10 to 12 Thai basil leaves
Purple radishes, sliced, for garnish
Watermelon radishes, sliced, for garnish
10 to 12 butter lettuce leaves

Directions

Special equipment: an open fire set up with a grill grate

Set up a hardwood fire and let it burn to low-burning embers (see Cooks Note). Set up your grate for direct and indirect heat cooking.

Pat the duck breasts dry. Liberally sprinkle with 4 to 5 tablespoons of salt and several grinds of pepper on both sides.

Place the duck breasts skin-side down over direct heat. Grill, flipping as needed to avoid flare ups, until the skin renders its fat and is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the duck and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

Halve the duck breasts lengthwise, then slice into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Toss together with the rice powder, lemongrass, fish sauce, shallots, chiles, lime juice and garlic. Season with pepper.

On a large platter, lay out the bean sprouts, carrots, cilantro, scallions, mint, Thai basil, purple radishes and watermelon radishes. To serve, place the duck laab on a lettuce leaf and top with the desired toppings.

Cooks Note

Make sure to use untreated hardwood, such as cherry, hickory or mesquite, that is safe for cooking.
