This 20-Minute Duck Bak Kut Teh is a thing of a beauty, until you carve into its beautifully tender and melting meat and put it in your mouth. Then, it becomes an explosion of flavor. Funnily enough, you can make this with very little labor, but it will still be packed with deliciousness.
Infused with herbs and spices like star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dong gui, fennel seeds and garlic, this version of Bak Kut Teh is pork-free and does not come in its typical soup form. In this recipe, Sidney Kan shows us how to make this with very little effort. To make this recipe, you will need two handy equipment in your kitchen: Philips All-In-One Multicooker and Philips Airfryer.
Ingredients
