Instructions

Brown and braise

Brown duck legs on all sides. Remove. Fry ginger and scallions. Add soy sauces, mushrooms, and oyster water. Return duck. Braise covered 45 min.

Add taro and finish(30 min)

Add taro chunks, cook 25 min until tender but not mushy. Taro absorbs the braising liquid and becomes impossibly creamy. The sauce should be dark, rich, and slightly thickened from the taro.
