Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil rice in salted water for 15 minutes, then cover and rest off heat while you cook the duck.

  2. Step 2

    Score duck skin in a crosshatch pattern. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Place duck skin-side down in a cold skillet. Heat over medium-high until fat renders and skin crisps, 6–7 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board.

  4. Step 4

    Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat. Sauté mushrooms until tender, ~4 minutes. Stir in ginger, soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water; cook until syrupy, 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Slice duck breast against the grain. Divide rice between two bowls, top with duck, mushroom glaze, cashews, and scallions.
