Microwave
Fry Pan
Cut cucumber and spring onions into thin batons (sticks). Trim the root from the pak choy and separate leaves. Slice the chilli, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Cut broccoli into small florets (they should be small so that they cook quickly when stir-frying).
Duck can be cooked in oven or microwave Preheat oven to 180C. Remove duck and sauce from pouch to a heat-resistant dish and place in oven for 15-20 minutes. To cook in the microwave, pierce and place the duck pouch in microwave. Heat on high for 31⁄2 minutes. Rest for 2 minutes before removing duck from the pouch. Discard sauce and slice the duck.
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Add pak choy, broccoli and chilli (to taste), season with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently.
Place bao buns on a large plate in a single layer and cover in cling wrap. Microwave for 1.5-2 minutes until heated through and soft to touch. You may need to do this in batches.
