● Ingredients

・ Duck meat… 1 block

・ Salt
・ Black pepper

・ Chive
・ Kaiware (green onion is also OK)
・ Daikon… Appropriate amount
・ Red Pepper ... 2

● Cooking Recipe

① Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the duck meat and leave it for 30 minutes to 1 hour. For Japanese leek, cut away the green part and section the white part into a length of about 5 cm. Finely slice the chives for garnish.

② Make Momiji-Oroshi
Peel the daikon and make a cut in the center to insert the red peppers. Remove the seeds of the red peppers and embed it in the radish. Grate the radish with the peppers to the grater and drain away excess water with sieve when done.

③ Heat a skillet and when hot, place the duck meat skin down to sear. Keep an eye on the duck while cooking and when the skin is lightly browned and crispy, flip and sear the other side in the same way. When seared, remove from skillet and let cook on a plate.

④ Sauté the Japanese leek in the duck fat until golden brown.

⑤ Slice the duck thinly. Plate it and top with Kaiware (Daikon Sprouts) or sliced green onions. Serve it with seared long onions and eat it with a dipping of ponzu topped with chives and Moniji-Oroshi.
