Fast, light, nutritious, and delicious—that’s stir-fry with
lean, cooked duck meat, fresh vegetables, warm rice noodles, and a
sweet-and-sour sauce with just a hint of spice. Of course, we don’t always have
cooked duck meat handy in the fridge (mine was from leftover Roast Duck with Apricot-Maple Glaze), so use cooked chicken or turkey as a substitute—still
light and flavorful!
Note: If you
can’t find super-thin rice noodles (typically twisted or knotted together in
the box), use slightly thicker rice noodle sticks.
Increase the amount to 4 ounces and the “steeping” time to 10 minutes.
