Mix the marinade ingredients and add the duck breasts. Marinade for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.

For the sauce mix water, fish sauce, vinegar and sugar and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and set aside.

Remove breasts from the marinade and arrange on a rack in a roasting tin. Roast in a preheated oven at 180ºC for about 20 minutes, turning once. Brown under a hot grill for about 2 minutes.

Cut each duck breast diagonally into slices and serve with the sauce immediately.
