Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Prepare the barbecue

If you have a charcoal BBQ light it 30-45 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready to cook on when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white.

If you are using a gas BBQ, light it up and turn it to the highest setting. Leave it for 15-20 minutes to heat up.

Step 3: Make the glaze

Placed a saucepan on the hob to heat, then add the sake, miso paste, honey, soy sauce and brown sugar. Combine well using a spoon.

Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to blend the miso paste. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly reduced, then remove from the heat.

Step 4: BBQ the duck

Using your tongs, place the breast of duck onto the grill. Cook for roughly 8 minutes on each side. Douse with a few drops of water if the flames become too high and move the breasts around to a cooler part of the grill so they won't burn..

After about 6 minutes, turn the breasts over using your tongs. Brush the duck generously with the miso paste. Continue to brush and turn a few times during the cooking period. Remove from the grill when cooked.

Step 5: Slice the duck

Allow the duck to rest a few minutes before slicing. Then place the duck onto the chopping board and taking your sharp knife slice into quite thin slices.

Step 6: Finishing touches

Place the duck slices onto a serving plate and garnish with a few radishes and sprigs of coriander on the side. Finally drizzle over some of the glaze.

Step 7: Serve

We suggest eating it hot with some steamed vegetables and rice.
