Instructions
- Step 1: Roast the Duck
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, honey, five-spice powder, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, white pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Marinate the duck: Rub the marinade all over the duck, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Roast the duck: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the leftover marinade every 30 minutes until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Step 2: Prepare the Noodles
- Cook the noodles: Boil the noodles in a pot of water (20-28secs+/-) . Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Make the Sauce
- Combine the sauce ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Step 4: Assemble the Dish
- Place the noodles: Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls.
- Top with duck: Slice the roasted duck and place the pieces on top of the noodles.
- Drizzle with sauce: Pour the hot sauce over the noodles and duck.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped coriander, spring onions, and cucumber slices for freshness. Serve with sambal chili for added spice.
