Ingredients

• 2 pieces duck breast
• 200 grams high-protein soba noodles
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 cups bok choy
• 1 whole red chili
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade for the duck. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Score the skin of the duck breasts with a sharp knife and place the duck breasts into the marinade. Turn to coat thoroughly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if time permits.

Step 3

While the duck is marinating, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the high-protein soba noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and browned. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the meat is cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the duck from the skillet and allow it to rest. In the same skillet, add finely chopped garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add chopped scallions, sliced red chili, and roughly chopped bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Toss everything together to ensure even coating of the sauce.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Slice the rested duck breasts and place them on top of the noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve the duck noodles hot, garnished with additional sliced scallions if desired.
