Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Place duck breast in a pan with water to cover and simmer over medium heat for 7 minutes. Drain; set aside until cool enough to handle.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil; add the noodles and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Drain, rinse thoroughly under cold water, drain and place in a colander lined with paper towels to dry.
Step 3
When the duck is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones and slice the meat into thin strips.
Step 4
Heat the garlic oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the duck meat and stir-fry until it loses its color. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the noodles and mix. Mix in both soy sauces and the fish sauce, pepper and garlic. Stir-fry over low heat for 3 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the noodle mixture to an oval platter. Sprinkle the fried onions and the reserved tablespoon of scallions on top. Serve with hot chili sauce on the side, if desired.
