Preparation
1
Eyes on the Fries

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
Get Roasting

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
Pickle the Cucumber

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
Make your Slaw

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
Bao Wow

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
Assemble

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!
