When the duck is cooked, add the taro and continue to cook until the pieces are cooked but not mushy, then turn off the heat.
Step 6:When the duck meat is tender, mash the star fruit until it is sour enough, then stop and season to taste. Sprinkle chopped coriander and Vietnamese coriander into the duck pot.
