Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 duck breasts
- 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil, for cooking
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Score the skin of the duck breasts and season with Chinese five-spice powder, paprika, and salt. Rub the spices into the meat.
-
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Place the duck breasts, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the breasts and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the duck for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, cilantro, mint leaves, and peanuts.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
-
Slice the duck breasts thinly and add them to the salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
-
Serve the Chinese Spiced Duck Salad immediately, garnished with extra chopped peanuts, if desired.
