1

Using a sharp knife, score the duck skin in a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle the sea salt over the duck breasts and rub it in.

2

In a large, cold non-stick or cast-iron pan, place the duck breasts, skin side down. Place over a low heat and render for approx. 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Once the skin is crispy, increase to a medium-high heat and flip the breasts over. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

3

Transfer the duck breasts to a plate or wooden board to rest for 10 minutes.

4

Prepare the vermicelli according to package instructions. Once cooked through, strain and rinse with cold water.

5

Finely slice the spring onions at an angle. Peel the cucumbers into ribbons.

6

Crush or grate the garlic and ginger. Finely slice and remove the seeds from the chilli.

7

Combine the garlic, ginger, green chilli, mirin, sugar, soya sauce and sesame oil and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

8

Place all the ingredients except the duck breasts and herbs in a bowl and toss together. Slice the duck breasts and place on top of the salad. Scatter over the chopped herbs and serve.
