Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ginger slices and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the duck breast on each side until golden, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the duck breast to a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In a large pot, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a simmer. Add the sautéed ginger and garlic mixture.
Add the julienned carrot and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the rice noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5 minutes.
Stir in the bok choy, sliced green onions, low sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Let everything cook together for an additional 2 minutes until the bok choy wilts.
Divide the cooked noodles and veggies among four bowls. Top each with slices of duck breast.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm, offering extra soy sauce on the side for those who wish.
