Crispy Duck And Rice Noodles In A Daikon And Wakame Broth 鴨片蘿蔔銀絲粉湯



I have been eating on my own for the last few days and nothing beats simple noodle dishes when it comes to cooking for one. Good news for duck lovers as I will be using duck for my next few posts and I will try to make the dishes as exciting as possible of course. This is just a rough idea of what one can do by using very simple ingredients so feel free to tweet it to suit your taste. Can one eat very well without spending a fortune? Absolutely!



recipe per serve
you'll need;
2 pieces of rice vermicelli 
1 duck breast*
2 cups of stock
6" piece of Chinese radish/daikon, sliced
a small handful of wakame seaweed
1 spring onion, chopped
dash of rice wine
dash of soy
dash of white pepper
dash of sesame oil
* marinate duck breast with some hoisin sauce, soy and five spice powder. Wipe off marinade before cooking. If using shop bought roast duck, place a few pieces of bones in the broth for extra flavour.



Pan fry duck skin side down for 2 minutes then another minute on the other side. Drain off fat and place in the preheated oven at 180C for a further 6 to 7 minutes. Rest before slicing.



Heat stock, add wakame seaweed, cooking wine and sliced Chinese radish. Simmer til radish is tender, season with a little soy, white pepper and grated ginger.



Cook noodles and drain well.



Ladle the broth over the warm noodles.



Top with sliced duck and chopped spring onions and drizzle with a little sesame oil. I actually really enjoyed this very clean tasting dish without any kind of chili sauce or condiments on the side for once.

  6. Great bowl of noodles as always. Can't help but feel though that fresh egg noodles or perhaps some ho fun would go better with duck.

  7. Oh yummy. We love duck here at Larches, although it's gone very expensive all of a sudden. 2 x Gressingham duck breasts are almost £10! I must source a cheaper alternative.
