Instructions

  • First, we’re going to get 500g duck gizzards and 50g flour. What is the flour used for? It is very useful. We put the flour on the duck gizzard, mix them up. Just be sure to completely spread the flour on the duck gizzard, with the hand repeatedly rubbing. The purpose is to erase the yellow film of the duck gizzard skin which will weaken the taste of the duck gizzard. In this way, your duck gizzards will become particularly tender and fresh, with such fresh types to do cold duck gizzards will make people unforgettable, endless aftertaste.
  • Wipe the yellow film on the outside of duck gizzards with flour, you can wash the flour with clean water. Don’t be so lazy. Although its surface looks clean, we should ,wash it repeatedly. Wash the flour thoroughly, let the surface of duck gizzards look smooth, and feel slippery, and smell not so fishy. You can take out the duck gizzards, put them on the chopping board. Then cut with a knife diagonals. Slice the duck’s gizzard, make sure it’s a little bit smaller so it tastes nice. Then put it in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cold duck gizzards are prized for their rich and unique flavor. But does the flavor come only from duck gizzards? No, it is more from its seasoning, so making seasoning for cold duck gizzards is a key point to deciding whether the dish is delicious. So we’re going to prepare the other ingredients for seasoning. We’re going to prepare 2 scallions, 1 piece of ginger, 3 cloves garlic and 2 star anises. Remove the skin on the outside of the scallions, because the skin of the onion is dirty. Remove the skin and wash it, cut it into sections. Peel and ginger and garlic and wash well. Wash the star anise. Put the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Before cooking duck gizzards, we must have a pot. The requirements of the pot are not high, as long as it can not leak. But the pot is as clean as possible. We take out the pot, put the duck gizzards and just prepared ingredients in the pot. Use high heat to boil them. After boiling, use small heat to cook them for 30 minutes and open the lid. If the duck gizzards turn pale white, the proof is ready. These ingredients are cooked with duck gizzards, and both regulate the taste and remove the bad smell of the duck gizzards. They made cold duck gizzards more delicious. The collision of seasoning and duck gizzards will give off a light umami taste which will make people’s hearts float in duck gizzards.
  • After that, filter out the duck gizzards with a sieve. Then wash them with cold water several times, and then bring them to the plate. After soaking in water, pour the water off the duck gizzards.  Slice the duck gizzards with a knife.
  • Then take out a few grains of garlic, remove the skin of the garlic. Wash and chop it, and put it in a bowl. Use big heat to the pot, pour the oil into it. When the oil boils, slowly pour the garlic into the pot. Do not pour too fast, it is easy to splash the hot oil which will burn yourself and causing safety risks.
  • Remove the oil and ingredients and place them in a bowl. Add salt and chicken powder to a bowl. Adding salt and chicken powder will give the seasoning more flavor. Do you know what chicken powder is? In China, chicken powder can be found in any kitchen. Chicken powder is a seasoning made from chicken, egg and chicken bone by special technology. Light yellow powder has a delicious taste and can improve people’s appetite. Mostly used to produce fresh food. Mix the salt with the chicken powder and you have the perfect seasoning.
  • With the seasoning ready and the duck’s gizzard ready, let’s mix them up. Do you think you are done with duck gizzards by putting flavoring in them? Not yet, we also add garlic oil, a little light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and spicy oil. If you can’t eat spicy food, you don’t have to add spicy oil. But I think you can try eating spicy food because your taste buds will be hit. This will finish the duck’s gizzard. Of course, if you have a refrigerator at home, I very much recommend that you put the cooked duck gizzards in the refrigerator, because the effect of refrigeration is better. After all, this delicious food is called cold duck gizzards.
