Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Pull out a medium frying pan, a medium saucepan, a small bowl, a grater, a sieve & peeler
Cook the duck
- Heat the medium frying pan on medium-high heat
- Season the duck with salt. Once the pan is hot, add the duck, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins, until crispy
- Flip and cook for 2 mins on the other side, then transfer to the lined baking tray (skin-side up)
- Roast for 21 mins, until cooked through. Remove, cover with foil and leave to rest
Prep time
- Roughly chop the peanuts. Slice the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Zest the orange. Peel the carrot into ribbons
- With a small knife, peel and remove the pith from the orange. Carefully cut out the segments, then squeeze the remaining juice from the membrane into the small bowl
Make the sauce
- Reheat the empty frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the peanuts and spring onion and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden
- Add the sugar snap peas and chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat), and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the hoisin, honey, orange juice and zest. Simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce thickens slightly
Time to noodle
- Bring the medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
- Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork, and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
- Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and roughly chop
Last bits & plate up
- Add the carrot, cooked noodles and orange segments to the frying pan. Toss to combine
- Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Season with salt, then stir in half the mint
- Thinly slice the duck against the grain
- Share the noodles between bowls, topped with the duck. Drizzle over the sesame oil. Garnish with the remaining mint
