MC: Today we’re talking about a simple but delicious meal that you can make for your family on

the weekend. Welcome to the show, Will. So let’s get started!

vegetable oil, cilantro leaves, fish sauce, pepper, red chilli, some salt and sugar.

MC: Duck, sliced ginger, vegetable oil, cilantro leaves and other spices. Right?

Will: Yes, here’s how you make it. First, rub the duck with half the mixture of ginger and salt.

Then rinse and cut into 8 pieces. Heat oil and fry duck slowly until the skin looks nice and

brown.

MC: How long should we fry the duck?

Will: Fry until the skin looks nice and brown. Then, add remaining ginger, fish sauce and sugar.

tender. After that, remove form the heat. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
