Instructions

1. 1 Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or a food processor.

Ingredients

• ✓ cucumber
• tuna steak
• avocado
• green onion
• red pepper flake
• sesame seed
• lemon juice
• sesame oil
• soy sauce

Instructions

1. 1 In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, sesame oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.
2. 2 Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

• sesame seed
• soy sauce

2. 2 Meanwhile, mix vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
3. 3 Combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a blender; process until creamy.
4. 4 Transfer cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the vinegar sauce over the hot rice; mix gently. Taste and add more vinegar sauce if desired. Empty 1/2 of the cooked rice into a springform pan; press down gently to fill the bottom of the pan.
5. 5 Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture on top of the rice in the pan. Layer crabmeat, cucumber, avocado, and cold cream cheese over top, in that order. Spread the remaining cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture over top. Empty the remaining rice into the pan and press downwards until layers are firmly packed. Garnish with sesame seeds. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
6. 6 To serve, mix soy sauce, orange juice, and lime juice in a bowl. Dismount the sushi cake from the springform pan and serve it with the soy sauce.

• green onion
• black pepper
• five-spice powder
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
2. 2 To prepare the duck: Place duck legs in a large bowl; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, five-spice powder, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. 3 Sprinkle large green onion pieces into a baking dish large enough to hold duck legs in a single layer. Place duck legs, skin-side up, on top of green onions. Scatter garlic over duck. Place a piece of parchment paper directly on top of duck to help retain moisture. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door, and let duck rest in the oven for 1 hour; do not uncover the dish during this time.
5. 5 Remove the dish from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Baste duck with rendered fat in the dish. Place the parchment paper back over duck and re-wrap the dish in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
6. 6 Make sauce: Mix together hoisin sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
7. 7 Remove duck meat from bones; leave skin on. Cut meat into 1/2-inch cubes.
8. 8 Remove 1 tablespoon rendered fat from the dish to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir 1/2 of the cubed meat in hot fat until pieces are brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add remaining meat; cook and stir until duck is just heated through, about 1 minute more. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped green onion.
9. 9 Spoon duck mixture into lettuce leaves. Drizzle with sauce; garnish with cucumber, green onions, and sesame seeds.
