4. Heat a non-stick fry-pan to medium-high (no oil) then place duck breast skin side down, and cook for about 3 minutes until skin is crisp. 

5. Turn over and cook on the other side for a few more minutes, or until juices run clear. 

6. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice on the diagonal.

7. Place noodles in a bowl with remaining ingredients, including the sliced duck and toss through dressing.

8. Serve with a wedge of lime and top with spring onions.
