- Preheat oven to 200°C (395°F). Season duck breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place duck breasts skin-side down in ungreased pan. Sear until skin is golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn breasts over and sear flesh side down for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 6 to 8 minutes until pink. Let duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a small saucepan, combine duck demi-glace, honey, pomelo juice and Chinese clementine juice, honey and rice vinegar.
- Simmer over medium heat until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- In a small bowl, whisk rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and clementine zest until sugar is dissolved.
- In a large bowl, combine the bok choy leaves, pitahaya slices, Asian pear, and Chinese clementine supremes. Pour the sauce over and mix gently.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds just before serving.
- To serve, slice the duck breasts and arrange on a bed of salad, drizzled with the sauce.
