Instructions

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, sprinkle over the sesame seeds, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

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

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.

3

Meanwhile, trim and halve the cucumber lengthways, then slice it lengthways again into thin strips. Stack a handful of the slices at a time, slicing them thinly into matchsticks. TIP: This method of preparing veg is called a 'julienne' cut!

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, rice vinegar, sugar (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle.

4

In a medium bowl, add the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside. 

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.

6

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

Serve the sesame fries, sambal slaw and any remaining pickled cucumber alongside.

Enjoy!
