Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. 3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, five-spice powder, and sesame oil. 4. Rub the mixture all over the duck breast, ensuring it seeps into the scores. 5. Place the duck breast skin-side up in a baking dish and roast for 20-25 minutes until skin is crispy and meat is cooked to your liking. 6. While the duck is roasting, prepare the steamed buns according to package instructions. 7. Once cooked, let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly. 8. Assemble the dish by placing a couple of slices of duck on each bun, drizzling with plum sauce, and adding cucumber and spring onion. 9. Plate elegantly, using edible flowers for a touch of color and sophistication.
