Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Remove the confit duck legs from their packaging and place onto a lined baking tray, skin-side up. Scatter over half the Chinese Five Spice, season wiith salt and pepper, add a drizzle of oil, then rub all over the duck.

When the oven is hot, roast the duck on the top shelf for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the duck is piping hot throughout. 

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the green beans.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Stir in half the garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min. Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.

Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and stir in half the soy sauce. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. Set aside.

3

While the green beans cook, heat a drizzle of oil in another frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 

Meanwhile, remove the sping rolls from the packaging and pop onto a baking tray. Bake on the middle shelf until golden and piping hot, 12-14 mins.

4

Once cooked, add the remaining garlic and remaining Chinese Five Spice to the chicken and stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Stir in the Szechuan paste, honey, tomato ketchup and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three amounts) and the remaining soy sauce. 

Simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

5

When everything's nearly ready, squeeze the rice pouch to separate the grains. Tear a strip approx 2cm along the top. Microwave for 800W: 2 mins / 900W: 1 min 30 secs / 1000W: 1 min.

If you don't have a microwave, stir-fry in a frying pan on medium-high heat, 3 mins.

When the duck is piping hot, remove from the oven and drizzle over the hoisin sauce. Return to the oven to glaze, 1 min.

6

Transfer your Szechuan chicken, rice and green beans to separate serving bowls. Sprinkle the cashew nuts over the chicken. 

Serve your duck and spring rolls on a platter with your sweet chilli sauce in a small bowl on the side for dipping.

Share and tuck in.

Enjoy!
