Gluten Free Garlic-Ginger Duck Stir-Fry
Duck is one of those proteins that feels restaurant-special but is genuinely easy to pull off at home, and this stir-fry delivers bold, glossy flavor in well under an hour. The key to keeping everything wheat-free is tamari in place of conventional soy sauce — it does all the same savory, umami-rich work without any gluten hiding in the bottle. A quick cornstarch marinade helps the duck strips sear up beautifully in the wok, while the honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil sauce pulls everything together in a shiny, cling-to-every-bite coating. Broccoli florets, snap peas, and red bell pepper bring color and crunch, and the whole dish comes together fast once your wok is screaming hot. Served over jasmine rice with a scatter of scallion greens and sesame seeds, it makes four satisfying portions that look like serious effort but really aren't. If you've been missing takeout-style stir-fry since going gluten-free, this one is going to feel like a genuine win.
