Duck breast with plums and leeks is a refined dish of Chinese cuisine, harmoniously combining the sweetness of fruits, the spiciness of herbs, and the tenderness of meat. In China, duck is traditionally prepared with sweet-and-sour additions that enhance its rich flavor. In this recipe, aromatic rosemary highlights the depth of duck notes while caramelized plums add a subtle fruity sweetness. Leeks provide softness and a slight piquancy to the dish.
