Duck Grilled with Fermented Tofu

Method

1. 1 Mash the white fermented tofu with its liquid until it forms a thick paste, then mix it with lemongrass, garlic, and sugar.
2. 2 The fermented tofu is already salty, so don't add any salt or fish sauce to the marinade.
3. 3 Make two incisions down to the bone on the duck's thigh and marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator.
4. 4 Bake at 190 degrees for 25 minutes, flip once and brush with more marinade at minute 15.
5. 5 Increase the temperature to 220 degrees and bake for another 8 minutes until the surface of the tofu is dry and slightly browned.
6. 6 Squeeze some lime juice on top when serving and eat with fresh herbs and fermented soybean paste with chili peppers.
