Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced duck meat and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the tofu cubes and rice cakes to the pan with the duck. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking the tofu.

  3. 3

    Pour the milk into the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice cakes become soft and the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and top with fresh blueberries. Serve immediately in bowls while warm.
