Place ginger, garlic and chilli (if using) into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
Score duck skin in a criss-cross pattern then rub with five spice powder, season and place into Varoma dish skin side down. Place water, stock and 1 tbsp soy sauce into mixing bowl. Place Varoma into position and steam 9 min/Varoma/speed 1.
Place greens and broccolini onto Varoma tray, insert Varoma tray and steam 6 min/Varoma/speed 1. Transfer greens and broccolini into ThermoServer. Transfer stock into a bowl and set aside. Pat duck dry with paper towel.
Heat a small frying pan over high heat without oil. Place duck breast skin side down into hot pan and press to flatten. Reduce heat to medium and cook 2–4 minutes or until skin is very crispy and most of the fat is cooked out. Turn duck over and cook for further 1–2 minutes. Transfer skin side up into ThermoServer to rest.

Absolutely delicious, only used 1 teaspoon five spice powder. Will add a bit more green veg next time. My husband loved it.

Never cooked duck before. Would cook it again. It was easy to follow

Hi Emma
Sorry we didn't get to this before your dinner party. For future reference, with this recipe if you are only increasing by 1 portion then you shouldn't need to change the cooking times, they can stay the same.
Kind Regards

Hey guys
I've made this a few times, usually with pretty amazing results, but I'm wanting to make it for three people tonight. How do you adjust the cooking times with the duck if you're increasing quantity?
Thanks in advance
Emma
Yum! Can’t believe was able to cook a duck dish!
Just made this for dinner - yum!! Will definitely be making again. First time I have cooked duck and it was beautiful and tender, and the reduction sauce was superb
Made this last night so good, thank you Thermomix
OMG... That was delicious, thanks very much. I cooked the duck breast a little longer than recommended. Beautiful flavour
Sadly this one didn't work out for me. the spice/sauce/ flavour combination was lovely however the duck was tough and the veggies over done. In saying that it's the first time I've cooked duck so I'm a total novice.
