Spiced Duck & Vegetable Stir Fry is a quick recipe. Easy dinner within a 1/2 hour.
This is the very first duck recipe I’ve posted. However, I like duck a lot. Duck a l’Orange is probably the most popular duck recipe internationally. Except for once when I was in culinary school, that is not the most common duck preparation in my mind. Duck Curry is one of the most popular curries in the Caribbean. When I think of duck, I first think of Caribbean curries and secondly, think of Chinese roast duck.
Duck has a very thick layer of skin. If you do not know how to render it correctly, your food can end up very fatty and greasy. This recipe is an easy introduction to duck because it only uses the duck breast, without having to worry about rendering the fat from the skin.

I am just thinking if I could replace the duck with tofu. Is the five spice powder readily available?
