Cooking Tips

• Make sure to score the skin of the duck breast to allow the fat to render and the skin to crisp up.
• Cook the duck breast to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook for about 3-4 minutes on the second side.
• Let the duck breast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender and juicy result.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover duck breast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the duck breast in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the duck breast with steamed rice or noodles, and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
