Method

  1. Score the fat of the duck breasts and marinate with 1 tbsp each of the fish sauce and sugar. Leave for 30 minutes or overnight. Heat a non-stick pan and pan-fry the duck, fat-side down. Reduce the heat to low and let the fat melt out, about 8 minutes. Turn over and sear for 3 minutes. Remove.
  2. Heat the chicken stock and add the lime juice, tamarind, remaining fish sauce and sugar. Add the pak choy and blanch for 1 minute. Boil the noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and divide into 4 large bowls. Pour the stock over and add the pak choy.
  3. Thinly slice the duck and arrange on top. Sprinkle with chilli, spring onion and coriander.

    Delicious. OH came home and made it when I had laryngitis and not only did it taste fantastic, it pepped me up and my voice came back. Full of flavour, a lovely chilli kick and the pak choi (picked mine straight from the garden) was full of flavour. I'd recommend this to anyone.

    FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I used left over roast duck from the sunday lunch and omitted the taramind paste & sugar as i didn't have any of them. I also used flat rice noodles instead of the udon as thats what i had in my cupboard. I added a splash of soy sauce and sweetcorn and i was in heaven!! You can add whatever veg you fancy and replace the duck with 'credit crunch' frozen prawns to keep the cost down. Overall a real health kick.
