Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 200g) Duck breast (skinless)
• 200 grams Whole wheat noodles
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon (finely grated) Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 medium (sliced) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 medium (julienned) Carrot
• 2 pieces (thinly sliced) Green onions
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the duck breast. Slice it thinly against the grain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the sliced duck to the bowl and coat well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 4

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Add the marinated duck slices to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the duck is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the duck from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 8

Add the cooked noodles and the cooked duck back to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat. Serve the duck noodles hot, garnished with green onions and chopped cilantro on top.
