2 tbsp groundnut oil
2 tbsp Chinese 5 spice
6 tbsp fish sauce
6 tbsp rice vinegar
4 tbsp caster sugar
2 birdseye chillies (from 30g pack Cooks' Ingredients Thai Chillies), finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp jasmine rice
300g white cabbage, finely sliced
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
1 pack salad onions, shredded

½ cucumber, finely sliced
1 unripe mango, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 heart Romaine lettuce, shredded roughly
50g mint leaves, picked

1. Preheat oven 200ºC, gas mark 6. Place the ducks on a grill over a large roasting tin, pat the skin dry and rub all over with the oil and 5 spice.
2. Place in the oven to roast for 2 hours until the skin is crisp and the flesh is tender with no pink meat. Remove from the oven and leave uncovered to rest.
3. To make the dressing: place the fish sauce, rice vinegar and caster sugar in a small saucepan and heat until simmering and the sugar has dissolved. Add the chopped chilli, garlic and lime juice then tip into a bowl and leave to cool completely.
4. In a small dry pan toast the jasmine rice until golden and fragrant. Tip into a spice grinder or pestle and mortar and grind to a fine powder.
5. Add the remaining salad ingredients to a large bowl. Shred the duck and add to the salad. Dress with the dressing and divide amongst the plates, scatter with the toasted rice powder and serve.
