Beer Duck Leg

This Beer-Braised Duck Legs recipe delivers tender, flavorful meat with a rich, aromatic sauce that’s simply irresistible. The duck legs are blanched with ginger and cooking wine to remove any gaminess, then stir-fried with scallions, garlic, dried chili peppers, and star anise for a fragrant depth of flavor. A splash of beer tenderizes the meat while adding a subtle malty sweetness, balanced by light and dark soy sauce for a savory-sweet glaze. Simmered to perfection, the duck becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender, then finished with a reduced sauce for an extra punch of umami. Garnished with fresh scallions, this dish is a hearty, aromatic delight—perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a cozy family meal. The combination of spices, beer, and slow cooking makes this recipe truly special!
