Ingredients
Doufu:
8 ounces foie gras
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 duck breast
Cornstarch
Light teriyaki sauce:
7 ounces dashi broth, recipe follows
1 ounce mirin
1/2 ounce light soy sauce
1/2 ounce regular soy sauce
1/2 ounce sugar
2 to 3 ounces cornstarch, mixed with water to make a slurry
2 teaspoons fresh wasabi
Dashi broth:
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece kombu (dried kelp)
4 cups water
1/4 cup katsuo (dried bonito flake)
Directions
- Combine foie gras, eggs, chicken stock, and salt and pepper in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix until fine then strain into 4 small serving dishes. Steam in dishes for 10 minutes.
- In a small saute pan, sear the duck breast, skin side down for 4 minutes. Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, and slice thinly. Coat both sides of the duck slices with cornstarch.
- In a saucepan, combine dashi broth, mirin, light soy sauce, soy sauce, and sugar and bring to boil. Using cooking chopsticks or tongs, lightly cook the duck breast in boiling teriyaki sauce, maybe 5 seconds per slice. Place 2 or 3 pieces of duck on top of each of the steamed foie gras dishes.
- Thicken the teriyaki sauce with cornstarch and water, if necessary, and then pour over duck. Finish with wasabi.
Dashi broth:
- Wipe the kombu with a damp cloth, then place in a saucepan with water. When the water comes to a boil remove kombu from water. Sprinkle in the bonito flakes and remove saucepan from heat. As soon as the bonito flakes start to sink, strain stock.
