Method
-
step 1
To make the sauce put all the ingredients in a pan with 4 tbsp of water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook gently for 15-20 mins until the plums have broken down. You can strain the sauce for a smoother result, if you like.
-
step 2
Score the duck skins, pat dry and season with salt and a little five-spice.
-
step 3
To cook the duck, put the breasts, skin-side down, in a cold non-stick pan, then set over a medium heat. Cook for 10 mins until golden and some of the fat has rendered down, then flip and cook for 1 min. Transfer to a rack over a roasting tray. Put in a 200C/180C fan/gas 6 oven for 10 mins (for medium) or transfer to an air fryer heated to 180C for 8 mins – medium will be 60C on a thermometer. Rest for 10 mins, then slice and serve with the sauce, rice and greens.
