step 1
Prepare and cook the duck crown (1) according to pack instructions – set aside the spice mix to serve. While it cooks, prepare the rest of the dish. Save any juices to drizzle over when you serve.
step 2
Wash the rice (450 g) in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water in a pan for 20 minutes then drain well.
step 3
Add back to the pan with 500ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce down to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, covered before removing from the heat. Stir through the vinegar (2 tbsp).
step 4
Wrap the pot lid in a clean tea towel, cover the pot and set aside while you make the rest of the accompaniments.
step 5
Put the sliced cucumbers (400 g) in a shallow dish. Mix together the sugar (50 g) and salt (1 tbsp) then sprinkle all over the cucumbers.
step 6
Set aside for 15 minutes then drain and rinse then pat the cucumbers dry.
step 7
To make the prawn cracker powder, smash up the prawn crackers (50 g) into a fine powder using a wooden spoon and set aside.

Cook the spring rolls (1 pack) according to pack instructions. Serve the duck with sticky plum glaze on a platter and sprinkle with the spice mix from the pack and the prawn cracker powder. Serve alongside the rice, cucumber, reserved duck juices and spring rolls.
