Gluten-Free Peking Duck

Gluten-Free Peking Duck is a delightful twist on the classic dish, featuring crispy skin and succulent meat, served with gluten-free pancakes and a rich hoisin sauce. This midnight treat offers a balance of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Duck breast - 400 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Gluten-free hoisin sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Gluten-free flour (rice flour) - 1 cup
• Water - 1/3 cup
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cucumber - 50 grams, julienned
• Spring onions - 50 grams, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern and rub salt and five-spice powder into the skin and meat.
3. Place the duck breast skin-side up on a wire rack over a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
4. While the duck is roasting, mix rice vinegar with gluten-free hoisin sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free flour and water to create a dough. Knead until smooth, then divide into 4 equal pieces.
6. Roll each piece into a thin pancake and cook each pancake in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Keep warm.
7. Once the duck is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
8. To serve, spread some hoisin sauce on a pancake, add slices of duck, cucumber, and spring onions, then roll it up and enjoy.
