Ingredients

  • 4 duck breasts, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Мethod of preparation

Start by scoring the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern without cutting into the meat. This will help render the fat and create a crispy skin. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium rare. Remove from the pan and let rest. In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic. Drizzle this mixture over the resting duck breasts. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving. You can serve the duck over jasmine rice with a side of steamed greens for a complete meal.
