INGREDIENTS:
TAMARIND SAUCE: 1 cup sugar 1 cup dry red wine 1 4-ounce container sugar-coated hot tamarind candy, coarsely chopped
1/4 onion, thinly sliced 2 thin slices peeled fresh ginger 2 small garlic cloves, peeled, smashed
1-1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth 1 cup water FRIED RICE: 2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup shredded cooked duck 1/2 cup matchstick-size strips leek, white part only 1/2 cup coarsely shredded peeled carrot
1/2 cup chopped stemmed shiitake mushrooms 3 cups cooked medium-grain brown rice (about 1-1/2 cups uncooked) 1-1/2 cups fresh pea sprouts



1 FOR TAMARIND SAUCE: Place sugar, red wine, tamarind candy, onion, ginger, and garlic in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and tamarind candy melts. Boil mixture until syrupy, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add chicken broth and 1 cup water; simmer over medium-low heat until thick and syrupy and reduced to 1-1/2 cups, stirring often, about 1 hour. Strain.
2 FOR FRIED RICE: Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add duck and saute until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add leek, carrot, and mushrooms. Stir 1 minute. Add brown rice and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup tamarind sauce; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in pea sprouts and serve.
