Sticky Stem Ginger Duck Noodle Salad Food

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.

STICKY GINGER & HONEY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH NOODLE SALAD

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.

HONEY & SOY DUCK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Score the skin of the duck breasts and season. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add the duck, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins or until the skin is crisp. Turn over and quickly brown the underside, then transfer to a baking tray.
• Mix the dressing ingredients together and spoon all but 2 tbsp of it over the duck. Roast the duck for 10 mins for pink, longer if you prefer. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 4 mins, then slice into strips. 3 Toss together the salad, tomatoes, spring onions and duck slices. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.
