Method

1. Prepare the Duck

  • If using pre-cooked duck breasts, reheat in the oven at 180°C for 12–15 minutes, or pan-sear skin-side down for extra crispiness.

  • Slice duck thinly across the grain once warmed through.

2. Prep the Buns & Fillings

  • Steam bao buns according to packet instructions (usually 8–10 minutes in a bamboo steamer or stovetop steamer).

  • Prep cucumber, carrot, and optional spring onion into thin matchsticks.

3. Assemble the Bao

  1. Open each steamed bao bun.

  2. Layer in sliced duck, julienned vegetables, and a drizzle of hoisin sauce.

  3. Top with fresh coriander.

4. Serve

  • Best enjoyed immediately while buns are warm and duck is juicy!

Optional Variations

  • Add pickled vegetables or chilli for a tangy or spicy twist.

  • Swap hoisin for plum sauce or a garlic soy glaze for variation.
