Nutritional values

Thanks to the quick preparation in the wok, the nutrients stay where they belong: in the vegetables! The duck's dark muscle meat has a high iron content and covers about 40 percent of the daily requirements of parents and children.

If you can't get fresh mangetout (the season is in summer), simply reach for frozen goods or frozen tender peas.
