Ingredients
- 2 duck breast fillets (with skin)
- 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- Lime juice
- For noodles:
- 1 pack of rice or egg noodles
- Few drops of sesame oil
- 4 spring onions
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Dry the skin of the duck with paper towels. Score the fat of the duck with a sharp knife. Rub the spice mixture into the skin, fat & flesh, season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy-based pan until hot. Place the breast skin-side down in the pan.
- Fry for five minutes until the fat cooks out and the skin is golden and crispy. Then turn it over and cook it for 3-5 minutes to your liking. Transfer onto a plate and leave to rest in a warm place or under cover.
- Meanwhile, heat the honey and soy sauce in a small pan and reduce it to a thick sauce. Put aside.
- Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the pack. Slice the spring onions diagonally.
- Drain the noodles, transfer onto a serving plate then toss with one spoonful of the sauce, spring onion, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Squeeze over some lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Slice the duck diagonally, place these on top of the noodles. Drizzle with the honey&soy sauce.
- Serve with the stir-fried vegetables.
