Perfect garden party crowd pleaser for a group of friend and family! this is so tasty and one of everyone’s favourite Chinese dish to order from restaurant and takeaway,?
You can also do this in your bbq, or airfryer.?
Ingredients :
FOR THE MARINADE :
4 duck breasts large
120 ml Shaoxing Chinese cooking wine substitute dry sherry or Mirin
120 ml dark soy sauce
100 g Demerara or soft brown sugar
2 star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
small piece fresh ginger , sliced
4 spring onions (scallions), roughly chopped
2 tbsp East Spice Bag Seasoning or Chinese Five Spice seasoning
TO SERVE :
10 Chinese pancakes (1 pack) from Asia market near you.
2 spring onions (scallions)
1 cucumber , seeds removed
Hoisin sauce as needed
Instructions :
MARINATE THE DUCK
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large pot or bowl, Add the duck, turning over a few times to coat in the marinade. Cover and leave for two hours or even overnight in the fridge.
Air-fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C/400°F for 5 minutes. Place the duck fillets skin side up on a rack (or directly in the basket) and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and caramelised, You can also cook the duck in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for about 25mins depending what way you would like it cooked, I like it med for this dish. If using legs you want to cook it all the way to weldone and falling of the bone
SHRED THE DUCK AND SERVE
Cut two spring onions (scallions) into thin strips. Slice a cucumber into thin strips (use a julienne peeler for easy).
2 spring onions, 1 cucumber
Rest the duck for five minutes or until cool enough to handle then use two forks to shred the meat from the bone.
Prep the pancakes by steaming for 6 minutes or microwaving (in the packet) for about 30 seconds.
10 Chinese pancakes, Hoisin sauce
Serve the duck, pancakes, sauce and vegetables immediately. Spread hoisin sauce on a warm pancake, add the shredded duck, spring onion and cucumber, roll up and enjoy.
