Ingredients

Preparation

Peel the ginger and cut it into cubes. Cook the mirin, soy sauce, and sugar in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Add Cayenne pepper to taste. Let cool.
Marinate the duck breasts in the mixture. Cover and let rest for an hour or two. Sear the fillets on both sides, then place them in a flameproof dish, skin side up.
Put the dish in the oven at 200°C or 400°F for 15 minutes. Keep the frying pan aside to make the blueberry sauce.
Place the blueberries in the pan. Add the marinade and broth, and cook over low heat. Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and pour into the sauce, stirring. Bring to a boil. Season with salt to taste.
Let the fillets cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Wash the asparagus, cut off the tips, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes in salted water. Drain. Slice the duck breast and serve with the blueberry sauce and asparagus.
It can also be served with Basmati rice.
