2 Ways to Make Rich and Delicious Duck and Chicken Mushroom Soba Noodles

Prepare the duck breast

Buy duck breast and rub it with salt, pepper, and crushed ginger (or add a little white wine), letting it sit for about 30 minutes to remove the fishy smell.

Use a knife to lightly score the skin of the duck in a checkerboard pattern. Then, marinate the duck with 5g of salt and 5g of pepper.

Pan-sear the duck breast

Place a pan on the stove, but no oil is needed; put the duck in with the skin side down and pan-sear. When the skin is golden and crispy, flip the duck over, add 20g of ginger and 10g of sliced garlic, and fry together over medium heat for 10 minutes to ensure the duck is tender. Use a spoon to drizzle the duck fat over the skin to make it fragrant and even crispier.

After 10 minutes, take the duck out onto a plate and brush teriyaki sauce on top. After brushing, let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin pieces about 1cm thick.

Boil noodles

You boil 180g of soba noodles for 5 minutes; when the noodles are cooked, you transfer them into a bowl of ice water to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Prepare side dishes

Peel the carrots, julienne them, and soak them in a bowl of ice water to reduce their pungent smell. Wash the peas, and stir-fry them quickly for 2 minutes to keep them crunchy. Wash the green onions and chop them finely.

Completion

You place the noodles on a plate, topped with duck meat, along with carrots, peas, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle an extra layer of teriyaki sauce to enhance the dish’s flavor.
