Marinated Duck Tongue

Savor the exquisite fusion of savory marinade, aromatic ginger, and spices. Each bite offers a delightful crunch, paired with a burst of umami goodness. Chilled to perfection and adorned with fresh herbs, it's a sophisticated appetizer that promises to elevate any occasion.

Ingredients:

1. 1 bottle of marinade (available at the supermarket)

2. Frozen duck tongues

3. Ginger

Method:

1. Thaw the frozen duck tongues.

2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the thawed duck tongues. Boil for 10 minutes.

3. After boiling, add some sliced ginger to the pot and continue boiling for another 10 minutes.

4. Once cooked, remove the duck tongues from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water (this gives the duck tongue their crunchy texture).

5. Allow the cooked duck tongues to cool, then rinse them thoroughly.

6. Place the rinsed duck tongues back into the bowl and pour the marinade over them.

7. Let the duck tongues soak in the marinade for 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Serving Recommendations

- After marinating for 24 hours, the duck tongues can be served chilled as an appetizer or side dish.

- Garnish with fresh herbs or sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.
