Instructions
Step 1
Make the duck: Heat oven to 350°. Season duck with salt and pepper. Heat a 12" nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add duck, skin side down, and cook, turning once, until browned and crisp, 18-20 minutes. Transfer duck to paper towels; discard fat. In a 5-qt. Dutch oven, bring broth, 1⁄2 cup soy sauce, vinegar, coriander, 1 chile, and 1 cup water to a boil. Add duck, skin side up, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise until duck is tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Set duck aside; discard liquid.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a 1-qt. saucepan, bring remaining soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, mustard, sesame oil, and scallions to a boil. Set sauce aside.
Step 3
Make the noodles: Bring a 4-qt. pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles; cook until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Drain noodles; toss with 1 tbsp. canola oil. Heat 2 tbsp. canola oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining chiles, mushrooms, and bok choy; cook until bok choy is just wilted, about 6 minutes. Add noodles and 1⁄2 cup of the sauce; toss to combine. Keep noodles warm.
Step 4
To serve, heat remaining canola oil in a 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add duck, skin side down. Cook until crisp, 4-5 minutes. Pat duck with paper towels. Brush duck with remaining sauce. Serve atop noodles.
