Hoisin duck noodle stir-fry - tender sliced duck breast sits on top of noodles and crisp vegetables tossed with a glossy hoisin sauce. Big takeaway flavour made at home in 35 minutes.
We love crispy aromatic duck and chow mein dishes when ordering from a takeaway, so I decided I'd try combining the 2 to make my version of a hoisin duck noodle stir-fry. David asked for it again straight after eating it for the first time, and I'll happily make it...so it was a success!!
The duck breast portions end up with delicious crispy skin and succulent meat, and the noodles with vegetables are coated in a perfectly balanced hoisin sauce, then garnished with sliced spring onions. Feel free to try changing the vegetables - see suggestions in the Tips below.
Tips
- If you'd prefer to make this with rice instead of noodles, cook 150g white basmati rice in advance. Once cooked, rinse it in cold water and set aside until ready to add at step 5.
- Vegetables - feel free to use different vegetables, eg: peppers (deseeded and sliced), green beans (trimmed and cut into approx. 2.5cm pieces), pak choi (quartered).
- Optional variations:
- Spicy version - add chilli oil or fresh red chilli.
- Extra veg version - add pan choi, beansprouts or mange tout.
- Udon version - swap egg noodles for thick udon noodles.
- Low carb version - serve over shredded cabbage or courgetti.
- This hoisin duck noodle stir-fry recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
