Peking duck baos

(serves 6)
I was super excited to find these frozen gua bao's at Cabramatta finally, after what seemed like a 2 year freeze! We last used these for pulled pork bao's, but have since found that a lot of Asian grocery stores in Sydney weren't stocking it anymore! Yay for their return :) 
This is not really a recipe so much as a delicious idea of a Peking duck alternative, something you can do for an easy dinner party. We have done this once with a duck we roasted from scratch (but I haven't perfected this yet so will blog about it later), and once with a store-bought duck - both times were delicious! 

Prep time: 30 min 

Ingredients
4 packs of 10 pieces gua bao's (300g)
1 roast duck
1 cucumber
2 sprigs shallots
3 Tbsp hoi sin sauce, lightly diluted with 1 Tbsp water

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
2. Place the duck in the oven on a roasting tray for 15 minutes to reheat (if needed). Slice the skin and meat off the duck. 
3. Slice the cucumber and shallots into 3cm strips.

4. Steam the gua bao's for 10 minutes.
5. Serve the warm bao's along with the duck, cucumber, shallots and hoisin sauce and enjoy!
