Crisp-Skinned Duck with Mock Mandarin Pancakes

3.0

(1)

This dish is similar to classic Peking duck in the way that it is eaten: Slices of breast meat, crisp skin, scallion, and hoisin sauce are rolled inside pancakes. In a traditional rendition the meat from the duck legs would be stir-fried with vegetables, but here the duck legs are served whole.

Be sure to allow three days for this duck to dry in the refrigerator.
