Guy Fieri is back in the kitchen with another delicious and exciting episode of Guy's Big Bite season 15. In episode 4, he's putting a special twist on a classic dish with his Grateful Duck recipe.
The episode opens with Guy showing viewers how to make his signature marinade which combines soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic. He then prepares the duck by scoring the skin in a diamond pattern and seasoning it with salt, pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder. After marinating the duck for about 30 minutes, he sears it in a hot skillet to create a crispy skin.
Next up, Guy prepares the sauce for his Grateful Duck dish. He starts by sautéing garlic and ginger in a bit of oil before adding hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. He lets the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken up and develop the flavor.
To add some extra texture and freshness to the dish, Guy puts together a quick slaw. He thinly slices red cabbage and carrots, then tosses them with rice vinegar, honey, and salt.
Once everything is ready, Guy assembles the dish by placing slices of the Grateful Duck on a bed of the slaw and drizzling it with the sauce. He garnishes the dish with fresh cilantro leaves, chopped peanuts, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Throughout the episode, Guy also shares his expert tips and tricks for cooking duck, including how to achieve the perfect crispy skin and how to know when the duck is cooked to the right temperature. He also talks about the flavor profile of the Chinese five-spice powder and how it pairs with the duck and the marinade.
As always, Guy brings his signature energy and enthusiasm to the episode, making it both informative and entertaining. Viewers will be inspired to try making their own Grateful Duck dish at home, or to experiment with cooking duck in other ways.
Overall, episode 4 of Guy's Big Bite season 15 is a must-watch for fans of Guy Fieri, cooking shows, and delicious food. The Grateful Duck recipe is sure to impress and delight anyone who tries it, and viewers will enjoy seeing how Guy puts his own spin on this classic dish.
