Method

  1. 1

    Put the duck legs in a wide pan with the dark soy sauce, fresh ginger, star anise and enough water to just cover.

  2. 2

    Bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently for 40 minutes, turning once.

  3. 3

    Add the potatoes and mushrooms and simmer uncovered for a further 20 minutes, until the duck is tender with no pink remaining and the potatoes are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Scatter with the spring onions.

  5. 5

    Serve with steamed rice.
