Steps

  1. Prep and cook duck Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Trim duck breasts of overhanging fat. Score skin at 1cm intervals. Pat dry, season and coat in sesame seed spices. Heat a dry fry-pan on medium heat. Cook duck, skin side down, for about 8 minutes, until most of the fat has rendered and skin is golden. Flip, reduce heat to low-medium and cook for 4-5 minutes, until medium. Rest.
  2. Cook noodles Cook noodles in boiling water for about 3 minutes, until tender. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Prep salad Thinly slice cucumber and chilli; cut carrot into matchsticks. Thinly slice spinach.
  4. Make Asian dressing Combine all Asian dressing ingredients together in a large bowl and season. Add cooked noodles to bowl with dressing along with salad and peanuts. Season to taste.
  5. Slice duck When duck has rested, thinly slice.
  6. Serve a smear of hoisin mayo topped with noodle salad and slices of duck. Sprinkle over mint.
