Soy-seared duck with oriental-style noodle salad Recipe

  • 1 duck breast
  • sea salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 125g/4½oz egg noodles, cooked according to packet instructions
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 orange, juice only
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • large handful fresh coriander, chopped
  • ½ carrot, grated
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  2. For the soy-seared duck, score the duck skin with a sharp knife and rub sea salt into the scored skin.
  3. Heat a small ovenproof frying pan until very hot, place the duck into the pan skin-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes. Pour off any excess fat released by the duck. Reduce the heat and cook for a further five minutes, or until golden-brown. Turn over and cook skin-side up for three minutes. Add the soy sauce to the pan and stir well.
  4. Transfer to the oven and cook the duck for five minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  5. For the oriental-style noodle salad, place all the salad ingredients into a large bowl (reserving one tablespoon of the sesame seeds for garnish) and stir well to combine.
  6. To serve, place the noodle salad into two serving bowls. Cut the duck into slices and place on top of the noodles. Sprinkle over the remaining sesame seeds.
