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.Â
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. Â
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:Â
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. Â
