Ingredients

• 2 duck breasts
• 200 grams rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 500 milliliters chicken or duck stock
• 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 3 stalks, sliced green onions
• 1 head, chopped bok choy
• 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
• 1 optional, sliced red chili
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the duck breasts: pat them dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down into the skillet without any oil. Allow the fat to render and the skin to become crispy, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Flip the duck breasts and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

While the duck rests, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet used for duck, add the vegetable oil and reduce heat to medium. Sauté the grated ginger and minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the chicken or duck stock to the skillet, along with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the chopped bok choy to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bok choy just tender.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the broth.

Step 9

Slice the rested duck breasts and add them to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the noodles and broth.

Step 10

Divide the duck noodle soup into bowls and top with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced red chili if using.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious duck noodles!
