    Sauces for duck

    I highly recommend serving your duck breast with a delicious sauce. Duck pairs nicely with a hearty, creamy sauce like gravy, or a sweet and fruity sauce, like plum sauce.

    As duck is popular to serve with Asian dishes, you can also go for a more flavorful sauce such as a ginger sauce.
