VEGAN SWEET HOI-SIN DUCK WITH STIR-FRIED NOODLES

Yes... this should be my last recipe with seitan or vital wheat gluten, cause my doctor diagnosed me with a gluten-allergy. This is why i have to dispense with it for a long time. Too bad, cause the taste of the duck breast filet was amazing! The recipe for the marinade is from a grillbook called "fired up". I just added some extra flavours. =) so try it out and convince yourself !!

Ingredients for the Sweet Hoi-Sin Duck:

• 2 tbsp light soy-sauce
• 3 tbsp Hoi-Sin-Sauce
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 3 tbsp agave syrup
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 2 cloves of garlic, sliced

1. Wash off the filets under cold water and dab it off with a kitchen towel
2. Cruciform scarify but not too deep.
3. Mix all the other ingredients in a flat box and marinate the "fake-meat" in it.
4. Heat a pan and fry well.
5. You can eat it now, or put it in a casserole with the rest of the marinade and grill it.

Ingredients for the Stir-Fried-Noodles: (sorry again for my inaccurate amount)

• chinese egg-free noodles 
• carrots, cut into strips
• broccoli florets
• onions, cut into coarse pieces
• red pepper, cut into strips
• china coal, cut into coarse pieces
• a small piece of ginger, grated
• 2 cloves of garlic, grated
• Hoi-Sin-Sauce
• soy-Sauce
• some sugar, salt and pepper to taste
• peanut oil
• coriander leaves

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package intructions. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again, and set aside.
2. In a  pan, heat about 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium high heat and stir fry the garlic, ginger  and the vegetables. Season with a little salt, and stir fry until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp/crunchy.This shouldn't take too long. Set aside in a bowl.
3. In the cleared pan heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium high heat and add your noodles. Toss them around, get them well coated in the oil, and break up any clumps.  Pan fry the noodles, stirring and flipping them frequently until some of the noodles get a nice and crunchy golden brown exterior. Then season with the Hoi-Sin-Sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Taste and see if it needs additional seasoning. add the vegetables into the skillet, toss until everything is evenly distributed into the noodles.
