- 1 whole duck
- 2 tablespoons salt, or more to taste
- 2 lemongrass stalks
- 2 onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic
- vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 3/4 cups cubed potatoes
- 1 (10 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved, or more to taste
- 1 (32 fluid ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite®)
- 1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
- Place duck on a work surface. Coat skin with salt and fill the cavity with lemon grass. Transfer duck to a pot and cover with water. Add onions and garlic; boil until meat is tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Let duck cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Carve.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry the duck meat until crispy and brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Fry the potatoes until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Layer the duck, pineapple juice, soda, evaporated milk, potatoes, and pineapple chunks, in this particular order, in a large saucepan. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt.
