I love duck pancake rolls, it's my favourite thing to get from the Chinese although I can't even remember the last time I actually got a Chinese because let's be honest they are generally a disappointment and I always end up feeling a bit sick so making my own was the only way to go.
To do proper Chinese roast duck it takes many hours but I just did two duck legs which I pricked the skin of, poured boiling water over and then dried with a hairdryer to make the skin as crispy as possible. I then covered the skin in honey and Chinese five spice powder before slow roasting in the oven.
After around an hour in the oven the skin was crispy and fell off the bone. I was naughty and bought the pancakes and Hoi Sin sauce from the local Asian supermarket.
They were just as delicious as the ones from the takeaway and I had ten of them, yes that's right ten.
Now go make some of your own and eat ten or maybe even twelve, go crazy!

ReplyDeleteOooh Sainsburys are doing two duck legs for £2.50 right now and considering how TERRIBLE our crispy duck we got from the Chinese was last weekend, i am so making this myself soon! x
ReplyDeleteI made the whole duck version a couple of years ago - and never again! It was really tasty but took such a long time. This looks much more manageable - and just as delicious.
