Hoisin and duck are a classic combination that always works well together with a variety of ways to prepare and serve it. If you’re tired of eating the same old meals and are looking for a modern, Asian inspired recipe to spice up your dinner time, this meal will tick all your boxes.
Duck is a meat that when cooked right with ingredients that complement its delicate taste, will burst with flavours, and you’ll want to keep going back for more.
For this recipe our duck is served with rice and pickled radishes to cut through the richness of the hoisin sauce, but there’s a wide range of options you can pair the duck with. Some examples include:
Despite many people comparing it to chicken, duck breast has a hue and texture that is more similar to red meat. This means that unlike chicken, it’s safe to consume when it’s cooked medium rare. Perfectly cooked duck will have a delicious, crispy skin on top and moist, juicy meat underneath.
Duck is often associated with having a high fat content, but it is actually richer in nutrients that you might think. It’s a great source of protein and healthy fat as well as micronutrients like selenium, iron, and niacin.
