Crispy Duck Salad with Charred Chinese Cabbage, Lychees & Pomegranate Spicy Hoisin Drizzle Sauce

Think duck pancakes minus the pancakes, so much healthier and nutritious with heaps of veg but still tastes so good! 

The charred Chinese cabbage gives such a lift to the whole dish with crunchy raw carrots, radish, cucumbers, lychee, and pomegranate.  The spicy hoisin drizzle and toasted sesame seeds tie all the flavors together so perfectly.
