HONEY & GARLIC DUCK FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a plastic zipper bag, combine cubed duck breast with soy sauce, hoisin sauce and 2 sliced garlic cloves; marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Prepare brown rice: in a large saucepan, cook 2 minced garlic cloves in vegetable oil until golden; add rice and saute until aromatic, then add broth.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover; simmer on low heat for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
• While rice is cooking, shred the yellow squash; drain baby corn; slice green onions; scramble eggs in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and set aside; and steam pea pods and chopped bell pepper together for 1 minute (plunge them into cold water when done steaming to stop cooking and keep them crisp).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and cook cubed marinated duck with the marinade and green onions for 10 minutes.
• Add cooked rice and raise heat a bit; cook, stirring constantly until marinade is thickened, about 10 more minutes.
• Stir in honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic powder; cook another 5 minutes to blend.
• Stir in pea pods, peppers, shredded yellow squash, baby corn and scrambled eggs.
• Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, just until vegetables and eggs are heated through.
• Serve immediately.
