Set aside to rest.
Bring the stock to the boil and add the greens for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Take a large plate and drizzle with sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and Clarks maple syrup. Use tongs to remove the greens from the stock and drain slightly. Pile on to the prepared plate and add the spring onions and chilli.
Add the noodles to the stock you used for the greens and cook according to pack instructions.
Thinly slice the duck at a slight angle and season.
To serve – Take 4 bowls to the table. Let your guests drizzle the bowls with maple syrup, chilli sauce and soy as they wish. Divide the drained noodles between the bowls. Let everyone toss the noodles and then heap on the tossed greens and sliced duck.
Serve the hot stock in a large teapot to pour over the noodles and duck.
