Ingredients
- 11oz duck breast(Cooked and thinly sliced, or raw duck breast sliced thinly)
- 8 pcs bao buns(Steamed, store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup cucumber(Julienned)
- 2 pcs scallions(Thinly sliced)
Peking Duck Sauce
- 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and water until well combined.
Cook the Duck
- If using raw duck breast, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced duck breast and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
- If using pre-cooked duck, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir-fry for 2 minutes until warmed and slightly crispy.
- Pour the prepared Peking Duck sauce over the duck. Stir to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble the Bao Buns
- Steam the bao buns according to package directions until warm and fluffy.
- Carefully cut each bao bun open, but not all the way through, to create a pocket.
- Fill each bao bun with a generous portion of the sauced duck.
- Top with julienned cucumber and sliced scallions.

Tips
- Ensure your duck breast is sliced thinly for quick cooking and even distribution in the bao.
- Adjust the amount of sauce to your preference; some like it saucier, others prefer just a glaze.
- Serve immediately while the bao buns are warm and the duck is hot for the best texture and flavor.
