Add a Gourmet Twist to Your CNY Menu with WOK-FRIED RAMEN and Smoked Duck

Chinese New Year (CNY) is all about gathering with loved ones, sharing laughter, and savoring delicious food. But why stick to the same old dishes when you can elevate your CNY menu with a touch of gourmet flair? Picture this: aromatic wok-fried ramen paired with succulent smoked duck, a fusion of flavors that’s both exciting and festive.

At Creative Eateries Catering, we specialize in curating menus that balance tradition with innovation. Let us show you how this extraordinary combination can take your reunion dinner to the next level.

Why Wok-Fried Ramen and Smoked Duck Are the Perfect CNY Dish

A Fusion That Stands Out

CNY feasts are about indulgence, and wok-fried ramen with smoked duck delivers just that. The smoky richness of the duck pairs beautifully with the umami-packed noodles, creating a dish that’s luxurious yet approachable. It’s a modern twist that nods to tradition while offering something unique for your guests to remember.

Trending Flavors for CNY 2025

In Singapore, the culinary scene is buzzing with fusion trends, and CNY menus are no exception. Dishes that combine traditional Asian ingredients with contemporary techniques are in high demand. Wok-fried ramen with smoked duck captures this trend perfectly, blending nostalgic flavors with a touch of sophistication.

How to Prepare the Ultimate Wok-Fried Ramen

Wok hei, or the “breath of the wok,” is the soul of any stir-fried dish. Here’s how to achieve it:

  • Use a smoking-hot wok: Heat is key to creating the signature smoky aroma.
  • Build layers of flavor: Start with aromatics like garlic, shallots, and ginger. Add sauces such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil for a rich, balanced taste.
  • Toss quickly: Keep the noodles moving to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.

Choosing the Right Noodles

Fresh ramen noodles are ideal for this dish. Their chewy texture holds up well in the wok, absorbing flavors beautifully. Blanch the noodles briefly to avoid overcooking, and let the wok do the rest.

Smoked Duck: The Star of the Plate

Smoked duck is a game-changer for CNY feasts. Its deep, smoky flavor and tender texture elevate any dish. It’s luxurious yet versatile, making it the perfect protein for your festive table.

How to Serve Smoked Duck

  • Slice thinly: Highlight its marbling and rich color.
  • Pair with fresh garnishes: Pomegranate seeds or microgreens add a pop of freshness and color.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature: This ensures the meat stays juicy and tender.

At Creative Eateries Catering, our smoked duck is prepared to perfection, ready to impress your guests.

Plating Tips to Impress Your Guests

Presentation is just as important as flavor, especially during CNY celebrations. Here’s how to make your dish shine:

  • Use a flat, elegant platter: Arrange the wok-fried ramen in the center and fan out the smoked duck around it.
  • Garnish thoughtfully: Add toasted sesame seeds, fried shallots, or fresh herbs for texture and visual appeal.
  • Add festive touches: Use red and gold serving ware to enhance the CNY vibe.
