Preparation
Step 1
Pat the duck dry with a kitchen towel. Mix the orange zest, orange juice, garlic, honey, Kikkoman Poke Sauce, Kikkoman Soy Sauce, vinegar, ginger, coriander, paprika, thyme and chilli flakes in a bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Place the duck in the mixture and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
Step 3
Then place the duck on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 2-2½ hours until the meat is tender.
Step 4
Pull the meat apart, add 100 ml of the cooking juices to it and leave to cool.
Step 5
Roughly dice half of the potatoes and bring to the boil in cold, salted water. Cook for approx. 20 minutes, then press through a potato ricer. Grate the remaining potatoes finely. Squeeze the liquid out of the mixture and mix in a bowl with the cooked potatoes, flour, egg and salt.
Step 6
Fill each dumpling with approx. 70 g of the potato mixture and 20 g of duck meat. Seal well and shape into oval balls.
Step 7
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Carefully place the cepelinai in the water and cook for 20-25 minutes. When they are cooked, they will float to the surface.
Step 8
For the sauce, melt the butter in a pan. Sauté the garlic in it for about 1 minute. Stir in the buttermilk. Add the cream and stir until the sauce is creamy and warm. It should no longer boil. Flavour with Kikkoman Sauce for Poke Bowl.
Step 9
Serve 3 cepelinai per plate garnished with the sauce and parsley.
Tip:
Dust your hands with flour to make handling the pastry easier. Finely chop the pulled duck leg to make it easier to stuff into the dumplings.
