Method

  1. 1 Rub salt and ginger all over the duck, then boil it with ginger for 35 minutes at 90 degrees.
  2. 2 Soak the duck in ice water for 5 minutes to crisp the skin, then shred the meat along the grain.
  3. 3 Soak shredded banana blossoms in lemon juice for 15 minutes to prevent them from turning brown.
  4. 4 Mix the dressing by combining fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers, then let it sit for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.
  5. 5 Mix everything together just in time to serve; mixing too early will cause the vegetables to release water and the salad to become soggy.
