Ingredients

• Duck breast - 250 grams
• Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Bao buns - 4 pieces
• Cucumber - 50 grams, julienned
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
3. Season the duck breast with salt, pepper, and five-spice powder on both sides.
4. Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold, dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Turn the duck breast over and sear for another 2-3 minutes, then transfer to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 65°C (150°F).
6. Remove the duck from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
7. In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
8. Steam the bao buns according to package instructions until fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
9. Assemble the bao by spreading a little hoisin sauce mixture inside each bun, adding slices of duck, cucumber, and chopped green onions.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your Peking Duck Bao!
