Ingredients
- 4 duck breasts (approximately 150g each)
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tsp crushed ginger
- 1 red chilli de-seeded and finely chopped
- ½ cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels then score the skin/fat-side with a sharp knife. Take care not to cut through the meat.
- Season generously with salt.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the breasts, skin-side down, and cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and the fat has rendered out.
- Flip the duck over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until done to your preference.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Pour off the duck fat, leaving a few teaspoons in the pan.
- Add the ginger, garlic and chillies to the pan and cook until fragrant.
- Pour in the stock, soy sauce, honey and lime juice and allow to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more soy, honey or lime.
- Slice the duck and serve over cooked rice (I used Jasmine) with cucumber, spring onion and red chillies. Drizzle over the sauce and serve.
