Instructions

Eyes on the Fries
1

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

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide fries (no need to peel). 

Pop the fries onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Get Roasting
2

Remove the confit duck legs from their packaging. Place onto another medium baking tray, skin-side up, and season with salt and pepper.

When the oven is hot, bake the fries on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

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

Pickle the Cucumber
3

Meanwhile, trim the cucumber, then pop onto a board and use a rolling pin to gently smack it a few times until split. Cut into roughly 2cm chunks.

In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder), rice vinegar, sugar (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate.

Make your Slaw
4

In a medium bowl, add the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, sesame seeds and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside. 

Bao Wow
5

When the duck is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat from the bones (discard the bones). Stir through the hoisin sauce.

Place the bao buns on a plate, sprinkle with a little water and microwave, 800W: 1 min / 900W: 45 secs / 1000W: 30 secs.

If you don't have a microwave, place the bao buns onto a large sheet of foil. Sprinkle with a little water, then fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Bake on the middle shelf until warm and fluffy, 2-3 mins.

Assemble
6

When ready, transfer the bao buns to your plates. Fill with the hoisin duck.

Serve the fries, sesame slaw and smacked cucumber alongside.
