CRISPY SHREDDED DUCK AND NOODLE SALAD
It's important to use large lettuce leaves (about 6 inches) for this salad, so you may need to buy 2 heads of lettuce in order to get 6 good leaves. Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 45 min
Yield Makes 6 first-course servings
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Cook noodles in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water and drain well. Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add noodles and toss well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté duck pieces, starting with skin sides down and turning occasionally, until skin and meat are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a cutting board. (Do not clean skillet.)
- When duck is cool enough to handle, remove crisp skin from meat and thinly slice skin. Remove and discard any excess fat from meat, then shred meat into 1/4-inch-wide pieces.
- Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry shallot, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes (watch closely, as shallot can burn easily). Quickly transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Working around core of cucumber, cut thin lengthwise slices (about 1/8 inch thick) with slicer, then stack slices. Halve stack crosswise, then cut slices lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide matchsticks.
- Cut each peach half lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick wedges with slicer or a sharp knife.
- Put 1 lettuce leaf on each of 6 plates, then divide noodles among leaves and top with duck (meat and skin), cucumber, peach, shallot, and herbs. To eat, roll lettuce leaf into a cylinder to enclose filling.
GINGER GARLIC STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD
One of our favorite restaurants makes a beef and noodle dish, and I had to make it my own. I created this salad using some of my favorite ingredients: I love what the heat of the Fresno adds against the sweetness of the mango. I even got my kale in there, too!

Steps:
- For the steak: In a wide, shallow container with a lid, add the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine. Add the steak and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the steak from the refrigerator to come to room temperature before cooking, about 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare with an internal temperature of 125 degrees F. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest, about 10 minutes. Squeeze the juice of the lime on the rested steak and slice against the grain.
- For the salad: Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions.
- In a small bowl, combine the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly to combine and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and kale. Add the carrots, cilantro, mint, scallions, chiles and noodles and toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the mango and gently toss. Sprinkle the salad with the peanuts. Arrange the steak over the salad.
- Divide the salad and steak among plates. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Put the chicken in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce and lime juice. Add a third of this to the chicken and save the rest for the noodles. Mix everything together and chill overnight or for a few hours.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the mangetout and cook for 1 min, then drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the cooked noodles with the mangetout, carrot, remaining marinade, coriander and sesame seeds.
- Heat the grill to medium. Thread the chicken onto three or four long skewers, put on a flat baking tray and grill for 12 mins, turning the skewers halfway, until cooked. Serve the skewers on top of a platter of the noodles with extra lime wedges for squeezing over.
