Method

  1. Heat a non-stick pan. Score a criss-cross pattern into the skin of the duck. Pan-fry skin-side down for 8 minutes on medium heat. Let the fat melt slowly without burning the skin. Turn over and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Lift out of the pan, sit on kitchen paper for 5 minutes to drain off any fat and then thinly slice.
  2. To make the dressing, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and sugar together.
  3. Put the watercress and mango on plates, add the sliced duck, drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
