Our take on the classic Chinese noodle-based takeaway is a quick & delicious crowd pleaser! Saucy shredded confit duck is tossed through egg noodles and doused in an oyster & soy sauce dressing, jumbled with onions, pickled peppers, spinach & topped off with peanuts. All the wow with half the effort!

  1. OODLES OF NOODLES

    Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the noodles with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over medium-high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.

  2. SHRED IT UP

    While the noodles are boiling, remove the duck from the packaging. Scrape the meat off the bone. Using two forks, one to secure the duck and the other to shred, gently shred the duck. Discard the bones, any bits of gristle, and any excess duck fat.

  3. ALL TOGETHER NOW

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion, the rub, and the shredded duck. Fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and warmed through, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add the cooked noodles, the shredded Spinach, the soy sauce, the oyster sauce, and the chopped pickled peppers. Season to taste.

  4. TIME TO CHOW!
