Hoisin duck stir fry, with some fresh vegetables and delicious rice noodles, is one of those dinners that we always look forward to in this house.
Hoisin sauce is incredibly easy to make. For this particular dinner, I used leftover hoisin sauce from when I made Roast Duck with Chips and Hoisin Sauce, and I used leftover roast duck from that meal too: combined with vegetables and noodles, it makes a delicious and very fast dinner.
You can substitute the homemade hoisin sauce for a shop bought one, but trust me when I say it won’t be as delicious!
