Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas 6. Place the duck fillets in a shallow roasting tin. Mix together the five-spice powder and soy sauce and rub into the skin.
Roast the duck for 25-35 mins until the skin is crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain and rinse under cold running water.
Heat the oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan and fry the garlic and vegetables over a high heat until just tender. Toss in the noodles and cook for a further 1-2 mins until heated through.
Mix together all the dressing ingredients. Thinly slice the duck fillets and toss into the noodles with the dressing. Serve immediately.
