Best 6 Hoisin Barbecued Duck Recipes

HOISIN BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Remove and discard, or use for other purposes, the neck, giblets and any excess fat from either end of the duck; prick the duck skin all over with a small knife, going sideways and DON'T go through to the meat and pay special attention to the fattier areas of the breasts - you want to get as much fat out as possible during the boiling time.
• Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the duck (I placed the duck in the pot, filled with water, removed the duck and then placed the pot over the burner to heat); bring the water to a boil and then carefully lower the duck into the water and push it down (wooden spoons are good here); bring the water back to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the duck for 15 minutes.
• Place a long handled spoon into the duck cavity and lift carefully, letting the cavity water drain into the pot, then place the duck onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat dry, inside and out.
• Season the duck with the salt and pepper, inside and out; bend back the wings and tie the legs together with twine.
• Grill over indirect high heat (see my comments in my description) for 45 minutes (less if you like your duck rare); brush the duck all over with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and continue grilling until the skin is dark brown, about 10-15 minutes, watch carefully as the duck can brown pretty fast with the hoisin sauce on it.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve warm with remaining hoisin sauce -- we used a lot more sauce during the serving time!
• This is great with scallion cakes or you could also make a sort of 'peking duck' out of this with some mandarin pancakes, hoisin sauce and sliced green onions.

ROTISSERIE DUCK WITH HOISIN BASTE SERVED WITH GRILLED ORANGES, SCALLIONS AND PANCAKES

Steps:

• One day before you grill the duck, set the duck on a baking rack set over a baking sheet and store in the refrigerator uncovered to dry.
• Heat grill to medium heat and set up rotisserie. Season duck with salt and pepper and skewer it onto the rotisserie rod. Place a drip pan under the duck to catch the rendered fat. Once the fat had begun to render off the duck, brush with the Hoisin Baste every 10 minutes. Cook the duck for 1 to 1 1/2 hours for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the baste. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices.
• Drizzle the oranges with peanut oil, Place oranges on the grill, flesh side down and grill until golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut each 1/2 into 1/4's.
• Drain scallions. Place Hoisin Baste, 2 slices of duck and scallions onto each pancake. Squeeze grilled orange over the meat, roll and eat.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on side burners or on the grates of the grill. Add onions, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients and season with salt. Cook until the tomatoes cook down, about 25 to 30 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and cook until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

ASIAN BBQ DUCK PANCAKES WITH HOISIN, SCALLIONS, AND CUCUMBER

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Place the duck in boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool and dry. While the duck is cooling, in a saucepan, add peanut
• oil. Heat. Add ginger, star anise, Chinese five spice powder, soy sauce and honey. Add sesame oil. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover duck with marinade and place in the refrigerator overnight.
• The next day: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain and pat duck dry. In a roasting pan with rack and 1/2 cup of water. Roast 2 hours. Let cool then, remove the meat from the carcass and save the skin. Cut the duck into strips, and then assemble the pancake.
• In a warm oven or grill, heat the pancake. Spread 1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce over each pancake. Place 2 to 3 ounces of duck, 2 cucumber strips and 2 scallion strips in front of the pancake. Then roll it like sushi into a tube shape. Cut off the end, then cut the remaining pieces into 1-inch rounds. Arrange on a serving tray and garnish with the crisp skin and fresh cilantro

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork, particularly around the breast. Combine the hoisin, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, chili oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer slowly for 5 minutes. Place the duck in a shallow dish, add half of the hoisin mixture and turn to coat well. Marinate several hours or overnight, turning the duck frequently.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Discard the marinade from the duck. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and prick the duck again.
• Continue roasting, uncovered, until the juices run slightly pink when pricked in the thickest part of the thigh, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir the orange juice into the remaining hoisin mixture. Carve the duck and serve, passing the sauce for dipping.

SHREDDED ROAST DUCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325. Remove giblets and neck from duck cavity, and discard or reserve for another use. Cut off excess fat from duck cavity. Place duck on a rack in a deep roasting pan, breast-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Then slide the pan into the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 2 hours.
• Remove duck from oven, and use the point of a sharp knife to prick the skin of the bird, all over the breasts and thighs. Return bird to oven, and cook for 1 to 2 more hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh measures around 155 degrees.
• Increase oven temperature to 450, and cook until the duck is golden and crisp, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven, and transfer the duck to a cutting board. (Let the fat in the pan cool, then store it, covered, in the refrigerator. It is an excellent medium for roasting potatoes.) Allow the duck to rest for a few minutes, then shred it, using two forks to pull the meat apart. Add your favorite barbecue sauce, to taste, or your favorite hoisin sauce, to taste. Keep warm.

HOISIN DUCK STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat a wok or a large frying pan over a high heat. Drizzle in 1/2 tbsp of the oil and stir-fry the duck for 5 mins until cooked through and golden. Set aside on a plate. Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil and add the pak choi, onion, carrot and celery. Fry for another 5 mins until golden but still crunchy.
• Mix the vinegar, five spice, hoisin, 6 tbsp water, and cornflour together in a small bowl. Add to the wok with the veg along with the cooked duck. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens and coats the veg. Scatter with the spring onions and serve with noodles or rice and the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
