To make Peking Duck Bao Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the duck:

- 1 whole Peking duck
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

For the bao buns:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Clean and pat dry the Peking duck, then season it with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and Chinese five-spice powder. Brush the mixture all over the duck, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the duck in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 2-3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
While the duck is roasting, make the bao buns. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, warm water, sugar, yeast, vegetable oil, and salt. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes. Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them into circles. Place each circle on a piece of parchment paper and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
Once the duck is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Shred the meat into small pieces and set it aside. Steam the bao buns for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffy and cooked through.
To assemble the Peking Duck Bao Buns, take a bao bun and fill it with a few pieces of shredded duck meat. Top it off with some sliced scallions and a drizzle of hoisin sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Peking Duck Bao Buns are a mouthwatering fusion of Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine. The dish is a perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors, with tender duck meat and soft, fluffy bao buns. The crispy skin of the duck adds a satisfying crunch to the dish, while the hoisin sauce and scallions provide a burst of flavor.
