Add a balanced amount of duck meat, crispy skin, cucumber and spring onion to each bun.

FAQ
1. Can I use another type of bun instead of lotus buns?
Yes, you can use steamed bao buns, mantou or other soft buns, although lotus buns work especially well for their fluffy texture and convenient shape.
2. What other vegetables can I add to the roasted duck bun?
You can add shredded lettuce, carrot, pickled vegetables or fresh coriander for extra freshness and texture.
3. Can I add sauce to the roasted duck bun?
Yes, you can drizzle a little hoisin sauce, plum sauce or sweet bean sauce for extra flavour, although the roasted duck and garlic oil already provide plenty of savoury flavour.
4. Can I make the roasted duck skin extra crispy?
Yes, you can briefly reheat the duck at a higher temperature to help crisp up the skin, but watch it closely to prevent burning.
