BBQ Duck Rice Noodle Salad with Peanuts

30 Minutes | easy | Serves 2

Duck breasts are fatty and are best cooked on the BBQ using a flat grill plate to prevent too much flare-up. They make a beautiful addition to a salad of rice noodles, full of crunchy fresh vegetables and a spicy, sour and slightly sweet dressing.

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 100g dried vermicelli rice noodles
  • ½ carrot, peeled and cut into very thin strips
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 handful coriander leaves, chopped
  • 50g toasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed or grated
  • ½ thumb ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 birds eye chillies (or other red chillies), finely sliced

Trim any excess
