Steps

1. Score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern and season with salt and pepper. 2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 3. Place the duck breast skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the skin is crispy and browned. 4. Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust cooking time according to your preference. 5. Remove the duck breast from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. 6. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. 7. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce until thickened. 8. Slice the duck breast and drizzle with the orange glaze. Serve hot.
