duck stir fry

using up: very weary flat mushrooms, cold roast duck

It seems daft to tell you how to make a stir fry – you all know how to make a stir fry, surely?!  But they are great ways of Using Things Up, so I do try to write them up.

We bought an organic duck on Sunday at the farm shop at Puxton Park – it could not be described as cheap, and I know that there’s not much eating on a duck, but this one cost thirteen quid, and did us one roast meal, and some scrapeens (Irish word). I’ve boiled up the carcass to make soup, and the cats finished off the very bitty bits, but even so …

Anyway – three large mushrooms sliced, 2/3 courgette, one red pepper, two spring onions, some garlic and ginger, minced up.  All into the wok and stirred about in ground nut oil with some sesame seeds.

Duck added, five spice powder, splash of tamari, some noodles boiled and hurled in, job done – 15 minutes absolute tops, start to finish.  Why don’t people cook?
