This is a rich Thai dish, duck in a sweet sauce made from sugar with sour tamarind water to balance the sweetness. The skin of the duck is almost candied when it's cooked, but despite this the dish isn't very sweet. In Thailand this is always served with rice, duck is expensive, rice is cheap and we eat lots of rice and a little duck unlike the photograph!

Ingredients for 2 People
200 gms Duck Breast
1 Tablespoon Honey
2 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce

Preparation
1. Clean the duck and dry the skin with kitchen paper. Put it into a plastic freezer bag - we will use this bag to coat and marinade the duck.
2. Put the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger and honey into the bag.
3. Shake the bag to mix the ingredients and coat the duck with the sauces.
4. Marinade in the fridge for 5-8 hours.
