Start by boiling 6 cups of water in a large pot. Add the whole wheat noodles and cook according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the duck breast by patting it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Once heated, add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add sliced carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the stir-fried vegetables and toss well to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and carefully mix with the vegetables and sauce until everything is well coated. Turn off the heat.
Slice the green onions and sprinkle over the noodle mixture.
To serve, divide the noodles and vegetables among 4 bowls and top with slices of cooked duck breast. Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat duck noodles!
