InstaPot / Crock-Pot Braised Fragrant Duck – Vietnamese Inspired – Greatest Recipe of All Time

I love duck and so do our kids. I’ve made a Vietnamese style crispy duck before but it takes a lot of prep and work. So I was inspired to make a more simplistic non-crispy duck recipe using the Crock-Pot. I love the flavors and fragrant herbs that blend so well. It turned out fantastic.
