Hoisin-spiced duck breast - Simple
Ingredients:
- 2x duck breasts
- 4 Tablespoons - Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce
- 1 Teaspoon - Chinese five-spice (Star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and ground fennel seeds.)
Method:
1. Score the duck skin diagonally (being careful not to score the breast).
2. Mix hoisin sauce and Chinese five-spice together in a bowl and brush breasts liberally with it (basting brush is good for this), allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
3. Pat excess marinade off breasts. Heat a cast iron pan to low and place breasts skin side down until the skin turns crisp, sear remaining sides.
4. Once all sides are seared/sealed cover in tinfoil and place in the oven 180 degrees for 5 minutes, allow to rest for a further 5 minutes.

Marinade works well for pork ribs too.
