Ingredients:
- 2duck breasts
- salt, to taste
- 2 tsp Chinese five spice
- 150 g dried Chinese egg noodles
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tsp finely grated ginger
- 1 bunch baby pak choy, trimmed, quartered lengthwise
- 1 tbsp honey mixed with 1 tbsp warm water
- 60 ml(¼ cup) soy sauce
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Score the skin side of the breast diagonally with a sharp knife. Season both sides with salt, then with five-spice powder. Place the duck breasts, skin-side down in a large cold frying pan over medium heat. Cook for 7 minutes or until the skin is crisp and golden, adjusting the heat as necessary to keep the skin from getting too dark too quickly. Turn and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and rest for 10 minutes. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of duck fat from the pan.
- Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain and toss with the sesame oil.
- Add the garlic, ginger and pak choy to the frying pan with the duck fat and toss over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add the noodles, honey mixture, soy sauce and spring onions, toss until heated through and well combined, then remove from heat.
- Divide the noodles between 2 shallow bowls. Slice the duck breast, place on top of the noodles and spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. Ready to serve!
