Method

  • step 1

    Heat a wok or a large frying pan over a high heat. Drizzle in 1/2 tbsp of the oil and stir-fry the duck for 5 mins until cooked through and golden. Set aside on a plate. Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil and add the pak choi, onion, carrot and celery. Fry for another 5 mins until golden but still crunchy.

  • step 2

    Mix the vinegar, five spice, hoisin, 6 tbsp water, and cornflour together in a small bowl. Add to the wok with the veg along with the cooked duck. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens and coats the veg. Scatter with the spring onions and serve with noodles or rice and the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

RECIPE TIPS
DUCK SKIN

If you buy duck breasts with the skin on, don’t waste it. Cook the duck skin between two baking trays with a few pinches of fine sea salt at 220C/200C fan/ gas 7 for about 20 mins, until the fat renders and the skin is crisp. Cool and chill the fat to use for roast potatoes, and crumble the duck skin over salads or eat as a snack.
