Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Peking duck
- 1 whole duck (about 4-5 lbs)
- Hoisin sauce
- 1 cup
- Scallions
- 4, thinly sliced
- Cucumber
- 1 large, julienned
- Pancakes
- 12 thin pancakes (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully rinse the duck under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the whole duck on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast the duck in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Baste the duck with its own juices halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
- Shred the duck meat using two forks, discarding the skin and bones as you go.
- While the duck cools, heat the pancakes according to the package instructions or steam them lightly to make them pliable.
- To assemble the wraps, spread a thin layer of hoisin sauce on each pancake.
- Place a few pieces of shredded duck on top of the sauce, followed by cucumber slices and a sprinkle of sliced scallions.
- Roll up the pancake tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
- Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.
- Serve the Peking Duck Pancake Wraps warm with extra hoisin sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
