Ingredients
  

  • 1 duck breast
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • juice of ½ lime
  • juice of ½ orange
  • 1 chilli chopped
  • 1 cm fresh ginger grated
  • A few drops of sesame oil optional

Method
 

  1. Season with salt and pepper the duck and put it in a pan skin-side down and fry until crispy. Turn it over, fry it for 30 seconds over high heat then turn the heat down and gently cook for 5-7 minutes to your liking. Alternatively grill it in the oven skin side up.
  2. Let the duck rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the dressing.
  3. Whisk the fish sauce, ginger, lime & orange juice, add the grated ginger and chilli pieces (you can use some of the cooking juices too).
  4. Slice the duck diagonally and serve with the dressing drizzled over it.
