Method

  1. Mix the hoisin sauce and Chinese five spice in a bowl. Score the duck skin diagonally and marinate the breast in the sauce for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a little oil to hot in a non-stick pan. Shake the excess marinade from the duck then put in the pan skin-side down and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin turns crisp. Turn the heat down to medium, turn the duck over and brush with the remaining marinade until cooked, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan. Mix the vegetables with the sesame seeds and sesame oil. Serve the duck breast with the salad.

Recipe Extra

    It's very easy to remove the skin from duck breasts before you cook them : start off with a sharp knife then simply pull the skin off. If the flesh begins to tear use knife to ease the skin away, then continue pulling. Tip courtesy of Sue Kreitzman. Result: squillions of calories removed!

    Oh wow this was gorgeous! And so simple! Although my, admittedly large, breasts (Gressingham duck breasts that is) took longer to cook than the recipe suggested, and I like my meat still quacking/mooing, it was stunning and the best Saturday night treat I have had for a long time. Will be doing this one again and again.

    this recipe was absolutely top notch,i would have been happy paying for this if eating out. i used alot more veg and put a little of the marinade in while frying and served the duck over a bed of the fried veg and sesame seeds(which were great)!

    I chose to do this dish for friends who had put in a request for duck and as the weather was good, I like the style of the recipe. Really good, I served with basmati rice and the fresh salad really cut through the richness of the duck.

    I cooked this for my husband and missed out the salad completely. The duck itself was very tasty. I chose to sear the breast and then cook in the oven and this worked very well too.
