Made it for my girlfriend for our anniversary with bacon wrapped seared scallops with a brie cream sauce for an appetizer. Was a major hit. Will definitely keep both in my go to arsenal.

This was excellent. The soba noodles were really tasty and not gloopy at all, like some other recipes I've tried. I cooked the duck even lower and slower than suggested (using Anne Burrell's technique and it turned out perfectly. Turned up the heat at the end just for extra color. Very crispy skin and juicy inside.

I actually forgot about the pears and left them in way too long but they ended up being amazing anyway. They got beautifully dark and caramelized. Very good with a lot of black pepper to cut the sweetness.

All in all, I would definitely make this again!

This was one of the most simple recipes to make. We made the duck breasts, roasted pairs and utilized udon noodles. Also made the Cucumber Lychee martini. Incredibly yummy!

OMG!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know how you want to duplicate the best recipie ever and you keep trying and trying, well I have been searching for the cold sesame noodles 4 ever! And, this is FINALLY it. So, just FYI, I could not find soba noodles, so I used Udon - was fabu! I could find Thai bird chile [still can't], maybe if I make a trip into NY?, so I used just a small piece of green chili that I had in the frig. Every ingredient, by this recipie's combination, was IT! So, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We made this for our family when all of us were recovering from the flu b/c we had thawed duck breasts we needed to use. It was super easy, especially b/c we made the sauce a few hours earlier at our leisure. We used hot red pepper flakes instead of the Thai chile (b/c that's what we had on hand and adjusted the heat to our taste. We also used a curry-flavored salt on the duck. We peeled the pears and turned them cut-side down halfway through the roasting process to brown them more. Other than these few minor changes, we made as written and it was perfect. The combination of sweet, spicy, and salty was incredible for what is a really simple dish. We served with a St. Emilion (Bordeaux red wine, and it was comfort food at its best!

Just wondering if anyone has tried using Chicken breast with this? Easier to find and less expensive. Think it would be fine.

This is a relatively simple dish with complex flavors. I made the sesame sauce a few hours ahead of time. The rest of the components were easy enough to complete right before serving. I served the noodles at closer to room temperature and substituted a serrano chile for the Thai bird chile. I tried to plate it as was done on the episode and it made a rewarding and rewardable romantic meal.

I was unsure at first, how this recipe would go over with my friends , seeing some of my friends are very picky eaters. However, I am glad I decided to cook duck using this recipe, and I would suggest this recipe to anyone. The Flavor of the duck with the pears and noodles were simply amazing.
