  1. Toast all the spices in a dry skillet just until they become fragrant. Cool. Process the spices through a spice grinder. Reserve.

  2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Reserve.

  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  4. Score the duck breasts on the fatty side in a criss-cross pattern. Place duck fat side down in a hot pan over medium-high heat and render the fat for 2 minutes. Remove the duck and drain. (You can discard the fat or save for another use).

  5. Return the pan to high heat and add the duck, fat side down. Add the glaze carefully to the pan as it may splatter. Cook for 1 minute on the stove top. Transfer to the oven and roast for 4 minutes. Turn duck breasts over. Baste with the glaze. Cook for another 4 minutes until duck is medium rare or done to your liking. Remove duck from the oven, transfer to cutting board, and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  6. Heat a medium sauté pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Add the greens, garlic, ginger and salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables for 2 minutes or until greens have just softened.

  7. Thinly slice the duck and fan slices over the greens. Serve immediately.
