The Hawaiian kitchen is influenced by the Asian, American and European cuisine, with much flavour and fresh ingredients. These duck tacos boast those influences that come together in a delicious dish. Cooking duck leg sous vide creates essentially a confit duck, while using less fat. The meat is cooked in the bag with its own fat without adding extra fat that the confit method requires. The result is a fall-of-the-bone juicy texture, bursting with flavour. Combine the rich meat flavours with a fruity salsa and you’re in for a treat.

    4. Place the bag in the 68°C water bath and cook for 24 hours.
    5. Before serving, prep the salsa. Peel and finely dice the mango. Finely chop the red onion, pepperito peppers and coriander. Juice the lime and mix all ingredients together.
    6. When the meat is done, take the bag out of the water bath.
