Peking Duck Pancake Wraps

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of Peking Duck Pancake Wraps, a classic dish that hails from Beijing, China. This beloved delicacy features succulent, crispy duck enveloped in soft, thin pancakes, complemented by the refreshing crunch of cucumber and the aromatic bite of scallions, all drizzled with rich hoisin sauce. Traditionally served during special occasions, this dish is a celebration of textures and flavors that will transport you straight to the vibrant streets of China.

Serves 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Shred the duck meat using two forks, discarding the skin and bones as you go.
  6. While the duck cools, heat the pancakes according to the package instructions or steam them lightly to make them pliable.
  7. To assemble the wraps, spread a thin layer of hoisin sauce on each pancake.
  8. Place a few pieces of shredded duck on top of the sauce, followed by cucumber slices and a sprinkle of sliced scallions.
  9. Roll up the pancake tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
  10. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.
  11. Serve the Peking Duck Pancake Wraps warm with extra hoisin sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 For a homemade pancake option, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Mix to a smooth batter and cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • 💡 Experiment with additional fillings such as shredded carrots or pickled vegetables for extra crunch and flavor.
