Peking Duck Salad. Sort of.

Even really good blokes occasionally have shopping glitches. It's something to do with how boys are programmed, I think. But this may not be entirely Ryan's fault:
Act 1:

Setting - Chinese Barbecue Place
Ryan (pointing at hanging Duck): Can I get a barbecue duck, please.

Counter person: A duck?

Ryan: Yes, a duck.

Counter person stuffs something in a bag. Ryan pays, takes bag and leaves.

Act 2:

Setting - kazari's tiny orange kitchen

Ryan(handing over shopping bag): Here's the duck.

Kazari opens bag and starts dismembering.

Kazari: This doesn't look very duck-like. The meat isn't very dark, and it's kind of the wrong shape...

Ryan: Let me look at that. Oh. I think it's a chicken.

Anyway, this was a great looking recipe in 'the seasonal produce diary', for a duck salad. I made it with chicken, and it was awesome. But next time I hope to make it with duck.

salad of peking duck with chilli, coriander and mint

1/2 Chinese cabbage, shredded

a handful of bean sprouts

4 spring onions, sliced

1/2 cup roasted cashews

2 small red chillies, sliced

1 cup corander leaves

1/2 cup Vietnamese mint

all the meat removed from 1 Peking duck.

Dressing

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

1/2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp lime juice.

Does this really need instructions? Mix everything together in a big bowl, and share.

Many thanks to the lovely J, who gave me the diary for Christmas.
