  • Brown skins and turn approx. 5 mins each side.

  • Take out of pan and put on a plate in oven for 3-5 mins

  • When breast done to your liking take out of oven and rest for a few minutes.

  • To make sauce warm honey and soy bring to boil, let it bubble until syrup-like consistence.

  • Cook pasta as instructed on packet 

  • When pasta al dente drain, add chopped onions, sesame seeds and sesame oil

Cooks tips

Extra time for breast to be in the marinade makes for a tastier dish but don’t leave overnight as the spice will take over!

Serve with

This is a complete dish but to make it go further you could fry in the excess duck fat some traditional stir fry vegetables eg: mange tout, baby sweet corn etc. As you are using the fat it should taste of 5 spice.
