Total Time:
1 hour 30 minutes

Step 1: Prepare the duck

  • 2 duck breasts
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 8 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 oranges - to produce the juice from 4 and zest from 2
  • 180 ml white wine
  • 180 ml chicken stock
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 tray or plate
  • 2 large frying pans
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 fork

Step 2: Make the orange sauce

In one of the pans, mix the orange juice, stock, wine and orange zest. Bring to the boil and reduce.

If you like a sweeter taste add 3 tbsp of sugar now.

Step 3: Cook the duck

In the other frying pan, cook the duck for 12 minutes, skin-side down. At this point, the duck will be medium cooked. If you prefer well done, leave for longer. Remove the fat and add the soy sauce. Now turn the duck to the other side and let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes on the stove without any heat. Spoon the soy sauce over the duck.

Step 4: Put it all together

After this resting period, cut the duck breasts into half, lengthwise. Place the 4 pieces into the frying pan with the reduced orange sauce. Heat gently on low heat till thoroughly warmed. When the sauce is reduced check the consistency.

Step 5: Garnish the meal

Place the breasts on a plate and pour some of the sauce over each one.

Step 6: Serving Suggestions

The duck with orange sauce needs to be served as soon as it is cooked. It is very rich and only needs steamed vegetables to complete it. Garnish with a spring of parsley to add to its brown and orange colour.

    thisis the most revolting thing i have ever tasted, fortunately all my other dinner guests loved it, but not me for me,

    I'm a tree-hugging veggie, but this is a quick and simple recipe that won me lots of browny points from my partner. Apparently it's really delicious. Thanks. A minor criticism though, it would have been better if it had showed the heat at which you are supposed to cook the duck. Duck used to be my favourite dish :(

    Hah. Catherine of Aragon obviously copied this the manchurian version but would surely have reduced the soy sauce content . (8 tablespoons? omg) having managed to keep her head she wouldnt want to blow it by busting a cerebral blood vessle. I did it the Quaker way using some thigh....from a turkey. well thats me had my sodium intake for the week. ty video jug
