duck

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than duck.

shiitake mushrooms

🥗Healthier: button mushrooms

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Button mushrooms are more accessible and cost-effective.

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Tempeh offers a similar texture with more protein.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine vinegar + sugar

These alternatives mimic mirin's sweetness and acidity.

Prepare the duck by cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a pot over medium heat and add the duck, browning it on all sides.

Add water to the pot until the duck is submerged.

Stir in soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Add ginger slices and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.

Incorporate sliced shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and burdock root into the pot.

Simmer for an additional 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Add cubed tofu to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
