Method
step 1
Cook the crispy duck according to pack instructions and shred with two forks, or shred leftovers and remove from the bones. Put the noodles in a bowl and pour over hot water from the kettle to cover.
step 2
For the pickle, lightly bash the cucumber with a rolling pin and chop into bite-sized pieces. Put in a bowl and season with ½ tsp salt, the sugar, vinegar and chilli flakes (if using). Set aside to pickle.
step 3
Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Slice the spring onions and chop the pak choi into bite-sized pieces.
step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over a high heat. Fry most of the spring onions and all the garlic and ginger for 1 min, then add the duck. Cook for 1 min until hot, then add the pak choi and remaining veg. Stir-fry for another minute or two until bright green, then add the hoisin.
step 5
Drain the noodles, tip into the wok, toss and serve with the cucumber and reserved spring onions sprinkled over.
