Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the asparagus and cucumber, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes until plump and chewy, then drain.

  3. 3

    Pan-roast the duck breast for 4 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the asparagus and cucumber for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

    Build the bowl: pearl barley first, then the veg and duck breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.
