CRISP SKINNED DUCK WITH MOCK MANDARIN PANCAKES RECIPE



CRISP SKINNED DUCK WITH MOCK MANDARIN PANCAKES Recipe image

Categories     Asian, Chinese, Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 1

two 5- to 6-pound Long Island (Pekin) ducks, thawed if frozen 1 cup boiling water 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon rice vinegar Accompaniments: 24 or 48 thin scallions for scallion brushes hoisin sauce Mock Mandarin Pancakes

Steps:

  • Rinse ducks inside and out and pat dry. Remove excess fat from cavities and truss ducks. On a metal rack set in a large roasting pan arrange ducks, breast sides up and several inches apart. Let ducks dry, uncovered and chilled, 3 days. In a small bowl stir together boiling water, honey, and vinegar and cool to room temperature. Brush ducks with some honey mixture, keeping them chilled, and brush again every 20 minutes for 1 hour. Let ducks dry at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pierce skin of ducks all over with a fork to allow fat to drain and help skin get crisp. Roast duck in middle of oven until mahogany brown and a meat thermometer inserted into fleshy part of a thigh registers 180°F., about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let ducks stand 10 minutes. Discard string and carefully pour out juices from cavities. Cut around entire breast of each duck with a sharp paring knife and carefully peel off crisp skin in large pieces. Cut skin into 2 1/2- by 1-inch strips. Cut away and discard any fat on breast meat and remove breast meat from bone. Slice breast meat diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange on a platter with crisp skin. Remove legs from duck and arrange on another platter. Duck meat may be reheated and skin recrisped in a 350°F. oven until just hot. To make scallion brushes: If serving mock pancakes halved, 48 scallion brushes (one for each half) will be necessary for rolling inside the pancakes. If leaving the pancakes whole, 24 scallion brushes will be needed. Trim roots and green parts from scallions, leaving about 2 1/2 inches of stalk. Fringe ends of scallions by cutting slits about 1/2 inch deep all around both ends of each stalk, leaving about 1 inch of solid scallion in center, and spread fringed ends gently. Put scallions in bowl of ice and cold water. Chill scallions 2 hours, or until fringed ends have curled Drain scallions well. To assemble pancakes: Using a scallion brush spread some hoisin sauce on a pancake (whole or half) and top with the scallion brush, some breast meat, and some crisp skin. Roll up pancake to enclosed filling. Make more pancakes with remaining scallion brushes, hoisin sauce, breast meat, and crisp skin in same manner. Serve duck legs on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a whole duck: A whole duck will give you more meat and flavor than just the breasts. Plus, it's more economical.
  • Score the skin: Scoring the skin of the duck will help it to crisp up and render the fat.
  • Roast the duck on a rack: This will allow the fat to drip away from the duck and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Roast the duck at a high temperature: This will help to crisp up the skin and render the fat.
  • Let the duck rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.
  • Serve the duck with a variety of dipping sauces: This will allow your guests to customize their meal to their own taste.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your duck will taste.
  • Have fun! Cooking should be enjoyable, so relax and have fun while you're making your duck.
