This marinade brings back fond childhood memories as my mother used it for pork ribs and chicken wings. We also used to eat it with just rice and cucumber. Although we use it with duck, it is a suitable marinade for most meats. You’ll need to begin this recipe a day ahead.
Ingredients
Lemongrass marinade
Method
Main
1.For lemongrass marinade, mix all ingredients and 2 tbsp (20gm) sea salt in a non-reactive bowl until well combined.
2.Add duck, turn to coat, covering well with marinade, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
