Step 1
Whisk gochujang, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set glaze aside.
Step 2
Pat duck breasts dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into meat.
Step 3
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until hot. Place duck skin-side down and sear 6 minutes without moving until skin is golden and crispy.
Step 4
Flip duck, brush generously with glaze, and cook 3 minutes more. Internal temp should reach 135°F for medium-rare.
Step 5
Remove duck to a cutting board. Toss okra in the same skillet with remaining glaze, sear 2 minutes per side until blistered.
Step 6
Slice duck against the grain. Plate with okra, drizzle any pan juices, and scatter sesame seeds.
