Ingredients

  • Duck breast - 300 grams
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Chinese five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
  • Green onions - 2, chopped
  • Cucumber - 100 grams, julienned
  • Carrot - 100 grams, julienned
  • Chinese pancakes (or tortilla wraps) - 4
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
  3. Rub the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, and rice vinegar all over the duck breast, making sure to coat both sides.
  4. Place the duck breast skin-side up on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  5. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly.
  6. While the duck is resting, prepare the vegetables by chopping the green onions, julienning the cucumber and carrot.
  7. Warm the Chinese pancakes (or tortilla wraps) in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  8. To assemble the wraps, place a few slices of duck on a pancake, add some cucumber, carrot, and green onions, and drizzle with sesame oil and extra hoisin sauce if desired.
  9. Roll the pancake around the filling tightly and serve immediately.
