Ingredients

  • ½ pounds duck breasts, sliced in very thin strips*
  • 8 cups stock (chicken or duck)
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ cups carrots and zucchini, sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 7 ounces Pad Thai rice noodles (or rice vermicelli)
  • Chopped cilantro, green onions, fresh mint and lime wedges, as toppings

*To enhance ability to cut duck thinly, freeze for 15 minutes. It will stabilize the meat and make it easier to cut.

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot, saute duck slices in sesame oil until cooked through.
  2. Stir in garlic, five spice powder and stir until garlic is fragrant. Add soy sauce, red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Add vegetables and simmer until just done.
