Trim the duck, score the skin and remove sinew from top.
Place duck skin side down on a medium pan and also place the trimmings and cook slowly until the skin is nice and crispy.
Turn duck and place in 180 deg oven for 5 minutes and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
For the slaw, grate the carrot, cut the mango and red cabbage in thin strips, mix with soy sauce, honey, chopped coriander and sesame seeds.
In the pan of the duck and the trimmings, fry the shallots and garlic, add red wine, sugar, thyme, bay leaf and star anise and reduce to a syrup.
Add the chicken stock and reduce down again. Once it has a tick consistency, pass through a strainer and add the cubes of butter for a nice finish!! Re heat the duck for 2 minutes, carve and serve with the slaw and the sauce.
