From BBC FoodRecreate the classic Chinese restaurant dish with our easy recipe.
Ingredients
4 duck breasts, about 175g/6oz each, skin removed
½ tsp Chinese five spice
freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp sesame oil
100ml/3½fl oz hoisin sauce
8-10 ready-made Chinese-style pancakes, warmed
1 bunch spring onions, cut into matchsticks
½ cucumber, halved, seeds removed and cut
into matchsticks
Method
Cut the duck into thin strips and toss in the five spice and pepper. Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan or wok and add the duck. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through, then add the hoisin sauce. Continue to cook for about 1 minute, until the duck is thickly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the duck to a warmed dish, arrange the spring onions and cucumber in a bowl, unwrap the warmed pancakes and allow everyone to dig in and help themselves. The pancakes should be topped with some duck, spring onions and cucumber, then rolled up to resemble the Chinese classic.
