Best Hoisin Duck Noodles Recipes

HOISIN DUCK & NOODLES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 160^C.
• Score the skin on the duck breasts around 1cm apart diagonally. In a large deep pan, at a medium-high heat lay the duck skin-side down (no oil required) and fry for 1-2 mins until skin is golden & bubbling. Turn the duck over to flesh side and sear for 1 min.
• Once the duck flesh has browned a little, take the pan off the heat and put in the oven (uncovered) for 10-12 mins, with the duck remaining skin-side up. Once cooked, remove pan from oven and rest duck while you cook the vegetables & noodles.
• Heat the olive oil in a Wok and add the courgette. Season with salt & coarse black pepper and cook until starting to soften.
• Add the mushrooms, a few generous shakes of Chinese five spice and a splash of soy sauce. Stir to coat and cook through for a couple of minutes.
• In a small saucepan, add the noodles and pour over boiling water to cover. Put on a medium/low heat and simmer until cooked through - this should take around 5 mins depending on pack instructions.
• Once noodles are cooked, drain off and lift a bunch out at a time to cut 4-5 inch strands into the wok with the vegetables. Add more Chinese five spice and soy sauce and mix well.
• Once the duck has rested, pour x2 tbsp of hoisin sauce over each duck breast, and turn on a low heat on the hob. Allow duck oils to heat back up, and rotate the breasts around the pan until all are covered in the sauce.
• Distribute noodles & veg onto pre-warmed plates (or large bowls) and drizzle with remaining hoisin sauce to your liking. Place the duck breasts on top. Add spring onions as a garnish on top. Also sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds if you wish!

GINGER & HOISIN DUCK WITH GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Prick the duck skin with a fork. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the duck breasts, skin-side down, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Spoon off the fat and discard. Turn the duck breast and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand.
• Return the pan to the heat. Add the chopped ginger and the syrup and cook over low heat for 1 minute. Increase the heat; add the hoisin and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for 1 minute. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until the onions have wilted. Reduce the heat to very low to keep the sauce warm.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and drop in the glass noodles. Cook for 2 minutes, drain well, and spoon onto warmed serving plates. Slice the duck breast diagonally and arrange over the noodles. Spoon the ginger and hoisin sauce over the top.
