What is Hoisin Duck, exactly?

Hoisin duck is a roasted duck from China that is often served with fragrant hoisin sauce, Chinese pancakes Mandarin Pancakes, and shredded veggies. There are many distinct varieties of Chinese duck recipes, the most renowned of which being Peking duck, also known as crispy fragrant duck. Roasted duck skin is traditionally blanched, rendered, roasted, and thinly cut immediately before serving.

In this lesson, I'll show you how to make our own crispy Hoisin duck using duck breast instead of a full duck. Although this is not a typical roasting technique, you will find it to be lot simpler, faster, and tastier than you had anticipated.

We need the following ingredients

Duck breast I use two boneless, skin-on duck breasts. The crispy texture is achieved by using duck skin. You may also use chicken or turkey breast in this dish. Season the duck breasts simply with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Aromatic duck sauce Hoisin sauce is used to prepare the sauce for the flavorful duck wrap. For added flavor, I use dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. To enhance sweetness, use sugar or honey. In this recipe, I used Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce, but you may use whatever hoisin sauce brand you have on hand.

Pancakes from China Mandrin pancakes are thin wheat pancakes that are perfect for serving with hoisin duck. Steam, microwave, or pan fry the pancakes to soften them. It's available at Chinese grocery shops and frozen sections of supermarkets Cucumbers, shredded carrots, cabbage, lettuce, and spring onions, thinly sliced, are great for duck wraps.

What is the best way to make crispy duck breast?

Dry the duck breasts and gently score them. If any feathers are attached, carefully wipe them off with a kitchen towel or cloth before scoring. Both sides should be seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/ Gas 6) before searing the duck.

First, sear the duck skin-side down. Start with a chilly pan and set the temperature to low-medium. There's no need to add any oil since the duck fat cooks on its own. Allow to cook until the skin fats have rendered and the skin has begun to crisp. It takes around 6-8 minutes to complete. Flip and seal the meat side for 1 minute when the skin begins to turn crispy golden. Save the duck fat to use in other recipes later.

Then, skin-side down, put to a baking pan and bake for 6-10 minutes, depending on your choice for doneness. Halfway through, flip the page. Rare to medium rare takes around 5-6 minutes. For medium to well-done, let 8-10 minutes. If you use an oven-safe pan, you may put it in the oven right immediately Before slicing, remove the cake from the pan and let it aside for 6-8 minutes.
