Instructions

Sear duck
1
  • Pat duck dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score the skin sides of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add duck, skin-sides down, to a cold large non-stick pan.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat and sear until skin is crispy, 10-12 min. (NOTE: Fat may splatter while you sear the duck.)
  • Flip duck over and continue to cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min.
Prep
2
  • While duck sears, thinly slice cucumber.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Finely chop cilantro.
  • Add mayo and cilantro to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish duck
3
  • Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-sides down. (TIP: Reserve duck fat for another recipe!)
  • Brush hoisin sauce over tops of duck.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, until duck is cooked through, 8-13 min.**
  • When duck is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest, 3-5 min.
Pickle veggies
4
  • Meanwhile, add cucumbers, carrots, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. 
  • Cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
  • Remove pot from heat. Transfer veggies, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl. Place in the fridge to cool.
Toast buns and make salad
5
  • Meanwhile, halve buns.
  • Add buns directly to the top rack of the oven, cut-sides up. Toast, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickling liquid and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Add spring mix and green onions, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Drain pickles, discarding remaining pickling liquid.
  • Thinly slice duck.
  • Spread cilantro mayo onto bottom buns. Stack some pickled veggies, duck, crispy shallots and some salad onto bottom buns. Finish with top buns. 
  • Cut sandwiches in half. Divide sandwiches, remaining pickled veggies and remaining salad between plates.
