Roasted Duck Leg With Plum Sauce And Egg Fried Brown Rice

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then chop your pepper[s] into quarters (scrape the seeds and pith out with a spoon), then separate the white fat and the duck jelly from your duck leg[s]

Add the chopped pepper to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!), top with the duck leg[s], white fat, duck jelly, season with a pinch of salt and pepper then put in the oven for 30 min or until golden and crispy

Meanwhile, trim, then slice your spring onion[s] lengthways until you have thin strips, then peel and chop (or grate) your garlic

Combine your spiced plum chutney and your hoisin sauce in a small bowl with half your soy sauce (you'll use the rest later!), your rice vinegar, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] sugar, your ginger paste and cornflour

Add 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water and mix well – this is your plum mix

Wash, then add your spinach to a colander, pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt, then rinse the wilted spinach under cold running water until it's cool

Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the spinach as you can, then combine with half your toasted sesame oil (you'll use the rest later!) and a pinch of salt – this is your sesame spinach

Once the duck has 10 min left, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the plum mix and cook for 2-3 min or until reduced to a glossy sauce – this is your plum sauce

Return the reserved pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the cooled rice, chopped garlic and the remaining toasted sesame oil and cook for 2-3 min or until everything is combined and the rice is heated through

Once combined, push the rice to one side of the pot and crack your egg[s] into the other side

Stir the egg with a wooden spoon to break the yolk and cook for 1-2 min or until resembling scrambled egg

Once resembling scrambled egg, mix it all through the rice along with the remaining soy sauce – this is your egg fried rice
