Ingredients
- 319.4 g Duck, wild, breast, meat only, raw
- 89.6 g Saitaku Udon Noodles
- 124.3 g Fennel, bulb, raw
- 99.5 g Mushroom, king oyster
Method
- 01Score the skin of the duck breast in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 02Place the duck skin-side down in a cold pan. Turn the heat to medium-low and render the fat slowly until the skin is deeply golden and crackles when tapped, about 8-10 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 03While the duck rests, slice the fennel bulb and king oyster mushrooms. In the same pan, sauté them in a teaspoon of rendered duck fat over medium heat until tender and caramelized, about 6 minutes.
- 04Meanwhile, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain well.
- 05Toss the cooked noodles with the sautéed vegetables, adding a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of red pepper flakes for brightness.
- 06Plate the noodles and vegetables, top with the sliced duck breast, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
