Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Pop a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once hot, lay the duck in the pan, skin-side down, and fry until golden, 6-8 mins. Flip, then sear the other side for 1 min more.

Transfer to a baking tray, skin-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked, 16-18 mins.

Once cooked, transfer to a plate and rest for 5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw duck and its packaging. It's fully cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2

While the duck is in the oven, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the noodles.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Trim the pak choi, then separate the leaves.

3

When your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.

4

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) frying pan on high heat (no need to clean).

Once hot, add the mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry until starting to brown, 3-4 mins. 

Add the pak choi and stir-fry until just softened and the mushrooms have browned, 3-4 mins. 

Add the garlic and fry for 30 secs more

5

Stir the ketjap manis, hoisin sauce, soy and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the veg man. Simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.

Stir the cooked noodles through the sauce.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

6

Once the duck has finished resting, thinly slice on your board.

Share your hoisin noodles between your serving bowls and top with your sliced duck.

Drizzle over the honey and sprinkle over the sesame seeds to finish. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Enjoy!
