Asian Noodles with Barbecued Duck ConfitRomulo Yanes

Glazed with a mix of hoisin, lime juice, and Sriracha sauce, duck confit happily travels from France to China. This exciting dish blends the fresh flavors of carrots, long beans, and herbs with slithery rice noodles and tender duck, its skin crisped under the broiler. When roasting the duck, be careful not to overcook it—you dont want it to dry out and become stringy.

Cooks' note:

Glaze and sauce can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled.
