Ingredients

• Duck breast - 250 grams
• Red curry paste - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Begin by scoring the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern and season with salt and pepper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, place the duck breast skin-side down and cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy.
3. Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar to create a sauce.
