Ingredients (per serving):

- 1 duck breast
- 1 slider bun
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to score the skin of the duck breast before cooking to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the duck is cooked to the proper temperature (165°F).
- Toast the slider buns before assembling the sandwiches for added texture and flavor.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Chinese five-spice powder. Set aside.
2. Season the duck breast with salt and pepper on both sides. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breast, skin-side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Remove the duck breast from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
5. To assemble the sliders, spread the hoisin sauce mixture on the bottom half of the slider bun. Top with sliced duck breast, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and fresh cilantro. Cover with the top half of the slider bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
