Ingredients

  • Duck breast
  • 1 boneless duck breast, fat scored with a knife
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • salt, for seasoning
  • freshly ground pepper, for seasoning
  • Scallion-Oil Noodles
  • 1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon black vinegar
  • 5 stalks scallions, cut very thinly in 1" slices
  • 2 packets dry ramen
  • 1 dash white pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Heat up a skillet. Season duck with salt and freshly ground pepper. Put duck in skillet, skin side down and cook for 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and brown.
  • Collect duck fat in a bowl and set aside. Turn breast over in pan.
  • Add soy sauce and dark brown sugar; cook for another minute. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake for 6-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your duck breast. After you remove duck from oven, let it rest for 1 minute. Slice duck breast thinly and set aside.
  • Heat up a skillet. Add in duck fat, and add in all the scallions. Fry until crispy and browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and stir in both types of soy sauce, brown sugar, and black vinegar. Add dash of white pepper.
  • Make ramen according to directions (or, you can also use fresh noodles), and drain.
  • Divide into two bowls, and top with scallion-sauce. Top with sliced duck breast. Stir to mix evenly, and serve hot!
