Directions
- Roast the duck breast over wood chips in a smoker for 10 to 15 min
- (place a pan underneath to catch the drippings). Or possibly, place over wood chips on a low fire in a covered grill for 8 to 10 min. Remove the skin, remaining fat and dice.
- In a wok or possibly large saute/fry pan, heat the canola oil and stir-fry the diced duckmeat, garlic, shallot, onions, choy sum, cilantro, gai choy, water chestnuts, chile flakes, mushrooms, oyster sauce, mint, and basil for 5 min over high heat till well combined and cooked through. Drain off the liquid into a saucepan and reduce to a syrupy consistency. Return the reduced liquid to the duck mix, add in the chile sauce, egg yolk and mix well.
- Mix 1 Tbsp. of the cornstarch and the water together in a small bowl.
- To make the potstickers, lay out the wrappers on a work surface and place a heaping Tbsp. of the filling in the center of each. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with the cornstarch mix, mix in half and seal the edges. Sprinkle with a little cornstarch to keep them from sticking.
- Heat the 1/4 c. canola oil in a cast-iron skillet or possibly heavy-bottomed saute/fry pan. When warm, fry the pot-stickers over medium-high heat for about 1 1 /2 min per side or possibly till browned.
- To serve, ladle the sauce onto hot serving plates. Place 5 potstickers on each plate in a star shape and garnish with the plum slices from the sauce, if you like, placing 1 slice between each potsticker. Garnish with orange zest, oregano sprigs and sesame seeds.
- ORANGE-CHILE PLUM SAUCE:In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the plums. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 min till thickened. Strain and return to a clean saucepan. Add in the plums and simmer 5 min over low heat. Strain.
