Michael O’Hare’s chef’s twist on the classic Chinese takeaway favourite is a Friday night feast that’s fit for a king. A crown of duck with an easy ready-made plum glaze is roasted until ridiculously tender and succulent, then served with a quick-pickled cucumber salad and a genius crunchy prawn cracker crumb. Give this one a go at home to recreate the Cooking with the Stars dinner party dish.
