Cut lines about 5mm apart on a slight angle, then cut the other way to form diamond shapes in the skin. Place the breasts skin-side down in a dry, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Slowly cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the fat has rendered from the breast and seeped into the pan. When the skin is golden-brown and crisp, remove the duck breasts and drain on kitchen paper. Allow to cool, then place in the fridge until needed. To make a marinade, mix the oil, soy sauce and honey together in a bowl. Add the lime juice, garlic, chilli and grated ginger and mix again. Cut the duck into 12-16 evenly-sized cubes, then pierce each piece of duck and the vegetables using a skewer. Thread them onto the lemongrass stalks, trying not to put the same ingredients next to each other. When all eight lemongrass stalks are full, place them in a plastic container and pour over the marinade.
