Crispy Roast Duck with Teriyaki fried rice
This is one of our favourite recipes. Easy, tasty and better than any takeaway. This makes plenty of teriyaki sauce so the rest can be stored in the fridge and is delicious with salmon or other meats. To make it even quicker you can just use shop bought teriyaki sauce but this is a refined sugar free version and I think it tastes better!
