Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Slash a criss-cross pattern through the duck skin and fat, then rub in the five spice and season. Heat an ovenproof frying pan then gently fry the duck skin-side down for 7 minutes, or until the fat has melted out from under the skin and the skin is golden.
  2. Mix the soy and honey. Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well. Pour the excess fat from the duck pan (save it to cook with later if you like), turn the duck over, then roast in the oven for 10 minutes for pink meat. Baste with the soy mix twice as it cooks, then rest for a few minutes.
  3. Heat a tbsp sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then stir-fry the noodles, greens and sesame seeds until the greens are bright and tender. Drizzle with the sesame oil. Slice the duck, serve on top of the noodles and veg, and spoon over the sauce.

    I made this with skinless fillets, so didn't fry them first, just roasted them in the marinade for about 20 mins.

    Also used skinless fillets for this, so popped them in the oven in the marinade for about 18 mins and stirred halfway through. Added a sliced leek to the stir fry pan with the greens; next time will add some chilli flakes and maybe some spring onions :)

    used skinless fillets as well, but "marinaded" them in the soy sauce, honey and five spice, which worked very well
