Ingredients

• Duck breast - 300 grams
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - 2 tablespoons
• Five spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cabbage leaves (for buns) - 4 large leaves
• Cucumber - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Green onion - 2, chopped
• Sugar-free hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern and season with salt, pepper, five spice powder, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the duck breast skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4. Flip the duck breast and sear for an additional 2-3 minutes on the flesh side.
5. Transfer the duck breast to a baking dish, brush with soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.
6. While the duck is cooking, prepare the cabbage leaves by rinsing and patting dry; these will serve as your burger buns.
7. Once the duck is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
8. Assemble the burger by placing sliced duck on a cabbage leaf, adding cucumber slices, green onion, and a drizzle of sugar-free hoisin sauce.
9. Top with another cabbage leaf and serve immediately.
