Crispy Skin Duck Bao
Patience is the key to success for this Roast Duck Bao recipe from Chef Shellie Froidevaux. Letting the duck rest in the sweet and salty marinade for at least 30 minutes ensures a beautifully smoky, savoury hit to the juicy duck breast. Roasted in our NN-CD87KS 3-in-1 Convection Microwave Oven.
