Steps:
- Heat a wok or a large frying pan over a high heat. Drizzle in 1/2 tbsp of the oil and stir-fry the duck for 5 mins until cooked through and golden. Set aside on a plate. Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil and add the pak choi, onion, carrot and celery. Fry for another 5 mins until golden but still crunchy.
- Mix the vinegar, five spice, hoisin, 6 tbsp water, and cornflour together in a small bowl. Add to the wok with the veg along with the cooked duck. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens and coats the veg. Scatter with the spring onions and serve with noodles or rice and the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

STIR-FRY DUCK WITH MUSHROOMS AND BROCCOLINI
The last time I was in Chinon, I had lunch at a charming restaurant, Au Plaisir Gourmand. The name is fitting: Chinon was the birthplace of Rabelais, who valued indulgence at the table. We began with andouilles (tripe sausages) and continued with lièvre à la royale (hare stuffed with foie gras), as we poured more than one bottle of Chinon. I have never made either dish. But with these wines I still want something bold, earthy and luscious. Did someone say Asian? Starting with duck breast, sliced thick enough to be succulent in a stir-fry, I added mushrooms, broccolini and musky oyster sauce. Unless you worship at the table of Rabelais, the recipe is more than ample for two.

Steps:
- Peel skin and fat from duck. Discard or reserve for another use. Slice duck across the grain, 1/2-inch thick. Mix cornstarch, half the sugar, rice vinegar and half the soy sauce in a medium-size bowl. Add duck and turn to coat. Set aside 15 minutes. Mix remaining sugar and soy sauce with oyster sauce and sesame oil.
- Place wok or skillet on high heat, add peanut oil, then duck. Stir-fry one minute. Transfer to a dish. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, ginger and peppercorns and stir. Add mushrooms, sprinkle lightly with salt, and stir-fry until wilted and shiny. Add broccolini and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, until starting to soften.
- Increase heat and return duck to pan. Stir-fry another minute or so, until duck starts to firm up. Add oyster sauce mixture and stir. Serve with brown rice alongside.

LEFTOVER DUCK STIR FRY
A great way to use up left over roast duck. Alternatively use fresh cubed duck breasts and cook in the wok first. I've added the veggies I think works best, but you can substitute it to whatever you fancy really. Please note the cooking times given are just for guidance, not set in stone.

Tips:
- To ensure your duck breast is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the duck is cooked by pressing on it with your finger. If it feels springy, it's done.
- If you like your duck breast crispy, be sure to score the skin before cooking. This will help the fat render and crisp up.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the duck breast. If you do, the duck will steam instead of fry and it won't get crispy.
- Be careful not to overcook the duck breast, as it can quickly become tough and dry. Just a few minutes per side is all it takes to cook the duck to perfection.
- Serve the duck breast immediately after cooking, while it's still hot and juicy.
