Prep 18 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

Vegetable Oilfor deep-frying
Eggs2, beaten
All-Purpose Flour100 g
Carrot2, grated
Breadcrumbs150 g
Ground Coriander1 tsp
Duck600 g

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

1
Pat the duck dry and season with the ground coriander and a little salt.
2
Set up a breading line: flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs — press the crumbs on firmly.
3
Heat 4-5 cm of oil to 180°C; a breadcrumb dropped in should sizzle straight away.
4
Fry the duck in small batches until deep golden, 3-4 minutes per batch.
5
Drain on a rack, never on paper, and serve hot with thai basil scattered over.

Chef's tip

Keep the oil at a steady 180°C — too cool and the coating goes greasy.
