Whole 30/Paleo pressure cooked asian style duck with pinapple kimchi cauliflower fried rice

March 16, 2019 By Erica N 4 Comments

Hi There!  here we are on a Friday, another day and another post.  Trying to have a little bit of consistency here lol.  I had quite a long day today, I’m working this weekend, which means I should have been off work today, but I wasn’t.  Instead, I spent 8 hrs in a class for work.  It was a class which is supposed to help you deal with difficult patients, disruptive behaviors and violence from patients.  It also taught us some self-defense or self-protection.  Most of the class was very long, in fact, I got super anxious from sitting there so long.  I hate being stuck in a room for too long when I could be home.  the one fun part was the actual physical demonstrations like getting out of a chock hold, that got everyone’s adrenaline going, you nurses are a bunch of nut cases, I included.  I came home tired as can be and still had to make dinner, Tonight we had pan seared salmon with a pineapple coconut sauce, sort off a Hawaiian flavor, and shredded Brussel sprouts, YUM.  This recipe is what we had last night.  Continue with Whole 30/Paleo I decided to Pull out some duck I had in my freezer and I made some pressure cooker/pan seared duck with an orange/coconut amino sauce.  My homemade Kimchi has been fermenting for a week so I decided to include it with my cauliflower fried rice along with some pineapples.  I love sweet/salty/spicy things.  I know duck is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think people that don’t like duck, just haven’t had a nicely cooked juicy duck.  I like different proteins because I like to diversify my palate.  I also like saving the leftover duck fat to make breakfast potatoes haha.  They are the best fat to cook potatoes in, in my opinion.  I have a recipe in my archives.  What about you, what are your feelings about duck?  Have you ever tried it?  Do you like it?  Why or Why not.  Drop a comment and tell me what you think.

Thank you,

  • 5 rings pinapple excess water squezed up and chooped
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 1 tbsp franks red hot sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Place duck breasts on a plate. Pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt. Tenderize meat with a tenderizer or poke with a fork.
  2. Turn instant pot on saute, add 1 tbsp of oil. When it reads hot, place breasts skin side up in pot. Cook 5 minutes on each side.
  3. Close the lid and hit the pressure cook button, it will set for 10 minutes. Place all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
  4. When you hear the beeping and the pot reads burn food, let the steam out. Heat a skillet on medium heat. Now remove breasts, place on a board and cut two large X's in the skin, and place in hot skillet with skin side down.
  5. Cook breast for 5-8 minutes, or until skin brown. Pour sauce on breasts, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Flip halfway. The sauce thickens quickly. When done, turn of heat and let the breasts rest.
  6. To make Rice heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large deep pan. Make sure to have it on medium heat. When hot add onions, garlic, and carrots, cook about 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  7. Add green onions, pineapple and cook another 3 minutes. Push to one side of skillet, break eggs on the other side, after 2 minutes, scramble the eggs, add 1 tsp of salt and mix everything together, cook another min.
  8. Next push veggies on one side, place kimchi on top.
  9. Add rice to the other side, cook about five minutes, making sure to stir frequently, add coconut aminos and hot sauce.
  10. Mix everything together and cook another 2 minutes. Turn off heat, add more salt if desired
  11. Place duck breast on a clean cutting board, cut slice pieces at an angle.
  12. Plate with kimchi fried rice and additional kimchi. I think duck is a very flavorful bird. Try it out and don't forget to comment. Thank you, This African

      Awww thank you same here. My kdrama obsession has made me a fan of kimchi and I think duck is pretty tasty. Oddly a lot of people have never had duck.
