Casual and a little gourmet, this duck and noodles dish could be your dinner in under 30 minutes.

4 x 180g duck breast fillets, skin scored
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
270g packet soba noodles
1/3 cup (80ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon each sesame oil and brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime
1 mango, sliced
2 cups watercress sprigs

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2.

Season the duck, then place, skin-side down, in a non-stick ovenproof frypan over low heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes until most of the fat has rendered and the skin is crisp. Turn, then brush skin with hoisin sauce. Transfer to the oven and bake for 6 minutes or until just cooked, but still pink in the centre. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
3.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to packet instructions, then drain. Whisk soy, oil, sugar and lime juice together to make a dressing, then toss half with the noodles.
4.

Thinly slice the duck and serve with the mango, watercress and noodles. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
