- 7Slide the duck legs into the pan with the fat and aromatics.
- 8Pop them into the oven at 120 degrees Celsius for about 3 to 4 hours.
- 9Once cooked, let them cool down.
- 10Whip them out of the fat and then roast them in a hot oven until they are very, very crispy.
- 11Glaze them with hoisin sauce and some more spices.
- 12Serve the duck legs with duck fat rice (steamed rice with some duck fat on it), cucumbers, and spring onions.
- 13Add a bit more hoisin sauce.
