Roasted Duck Breast With Plum Sauce
Seared and roasted duck breast served over cinnamon-flavored rice is already a good thing. However, marinating the meat first in a honey plum jam and soy sauce mixture which we’ll then use as a sweet umami sauce is much better. Did we mention we toss some plums into the baking dish?
