1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Crisp-Skinned Duck with Mock Mandarin Pancakes image

Categories     Duck     Bake     Lunar New Year     Winter     Honey     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

QUICK & EASY MANDARIN ORANGE PANCAKES FOR ONE



Quick & Easy Mandarin Orange Pancakes for One image

This recipe came about during a bit of a citrus spree... for the liquid, I used orange-flavored Fruit2O, but feel free to use milk, juice, etc....

Provided by brokenburner

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4 3, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup aunt jemima whole wheat pancake mix
1/4 cup orange-flavored water
1 pinch baking soda
4 1/3 ounces mandarin oranges, snack cup

Steps:

  • Drain the oranges, reserving the syrup (if you'd like to use it as a topping). Chop the orange segments.
  • Beat the egg white and salt with a wire whisk until stiff peaks form. Add the pancake mix, liquid, and baking soda, and mix until no lumps remain.
  • Drop a quarter of the batter onto a lightly greased griddle or nonstick pan. When the pancake begins to bubble, scatter a quarter of the chopped orange segments over the top; after a few seconds, flip the pancake quickly. Cook a minute more. Repeat with the remaining 3/4 batter.
  • If desired, serve with reserved syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh Mandarin Oranges for the Best Flavor: Choose firm and brightly colored Mandarin Oranges for juicing. Freshly squeezed Mandarin Orange juice will give the pancakes a more intense citrus flavor compared to store-bought juice.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix the ingredients just until combined and avoid overbeating.
  • Cook the Pancakes Over Medium Heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat allows them to cook evenly without burning. Be patient and flip the pancakes only when bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to dry.
  • Serve the Pancakes Warm: Mandarin pancakes are best served warm and fresh out of the pan. They can be served with a variety of toppings such as butter, honey, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Mandarin pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch option that can be easily made at home. With their bright citrus flavor and fluffy texture, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give Mandarin pancakes a try!
