I present my glass noodle salad with mango recipe in this article.

This dish is easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes.

I can tell you from experience that we often don’t dare to prepare Asian food.

“Like my favorite Asian next door, I can’t do it anyway,” some people think.

With this dish I would like to take away your shyness a bit.

In the video I show you everything step by step. Good succeed!

1. Recipe Glass Noodle Salad with Mango

When you rummage through Asian recipes, you usually notice that countless ingredients are required. This paste, that spice – the list of new things to get is long.

And often you can only buy the ingredients in specialty shops.

For our duck dish, we already have many of the ingredients at home or you can get them in any well-stocked supermarket.

Before we start cooking, it’s best to get everything ready to hand.

First of all, I toasted the sesame seeds and covered the pot with the plates until ready to serve.

This has the great advantage that both the sesame and the plates are nice and warm. Below you will find the exact ingredients and the step-by-step instructions. Have fun cooking!

3. Tips for Preparing Crispy Duck Breast

The duck breast for our glass noodle salad with mango is the first thing I want to do.

I’m preparing these today as a whole.

There is another similar dish where I slice the duck breast before roasting.

The motto there is to prepare duck breast quickly.

The duck breast first, I do that so that it has enough time to cook for a long time.

We like to eat them nice and crispy and fried pink – that just takes a little patience and a little trick.

It is also a Barbarie duck breast, which is not typical for Chinese Asian cuisine, but is easily available from us.

Roast Duck Breast Instructions:

In the video I show the variant prepared with little salt.

The pouring over with the drippings increases the flavor and is done in addition.

My post fry duck breast shows the preparation step by step with photos.

The crispy formula for roast duck breast is: short – long – short

4. Dressing Tips for Glass Noodle Salad

The dressing for our glass noodle salad with mango is something very special – and really simple at that.

The mango itself is already a sweet fruit – that’s why I consciously do without even more sweetness in the dressing and thus save sugar.

I use lime juice, soy sauce, oil and chopped cilantro for this dressing.

The acidity of the dressing in combination with the mango harmonizes perfectly with each other and gives the whole dish a fresh touch.

Alternative to this dressing: Nuoc Mam

  • I've been wondering for a long time what mango is actually doing in normal dishes (and not desserts). 😀 It took me a really long time before I dared to try it… then I had a mango bowl and was super excited… I don't know why, but it just fits… 😉 works here too the mango really makes a difference and tastes great with the duck breast..

  • Hello Thomas, today I would like to leave you a message and thank you for the instructions. The cooking video is great and the pictures give security when cooking yourself. My cooking question: In the supermarket I have now discovered roast ducks in the frozen section, what do you think of such a prepared ingredient? Thank you for replying and greetings from Marianne

    Reply

    • Hello Marianne, the prepared and already roasted duck from the freezer is not really an alternative. I've tried different variations here, but to be honest I'm not really happy with any of them. Roasting the raw breast promises a better taste, and you can also serve the meat roasted until tender. Thank you for your positive message! Thomas Sixt sends you best regards and good luck
