Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium pot (with lid), soak the rice in the 2/3 cup water for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the pot on high to bring to a boil.
  4. Add 2 tsp oil and salt to the rice.
  5. When the rice is at a boil, put the lid on the pot and turn the heat to low.
  6. Cook for 13 – 15 minutes. The water should be completely absorbed.
  7. Remove the pot from heat. “Fluff” or stir the rice with a fork. Put the lid back on, and let the rice sit for 5 minutes.
  8. While the rice is resting, remove the stem and seeds from the bell pepper. Coarsely chop the pepper, and put in a medium sauté pan with high sides or a wok.
  9. Cut the dark green parts off of green onions. Discard the lighter green and white parts for this recipe. Dice the dark green ends. Add to the pepper.
  10. Add 2 tsp of oil to the peppers. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for 3 – 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. While the peppers are cooking, shred the duck.
  12. When peppers have softened, add the duck, rice, tamari sauce, and remaining 2 tsp oil. Stir until everything the rice is evenly coated with the tamari sauce. All of the rice grains will be slightly brown.
  13. Turn the heat down a notch to just above medium. Cook for approximately 5 minutes to warm the duck. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking.
