Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Score the skin of the duck breasts with a sharp knife, then season the breasts with salt, black pepper, and five-spice powder.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin side down and sear for 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the duck breasts to a baking dish and brush with 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce. Roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the duck is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
While the duck is cooking, prepare the pancake dough by mixing flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add boiling water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Once rested, divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and roll into a thin pancake, approximately 5 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pancake for about 1 minute on each side, until slightly golden. Brush lightly with sesame oil.
Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
Slice the green onions and cucumber into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce with minced garlic and rice vinegar to make a dipping sauce.
To serve, place a few duck slices on each pancake, add cucumber and green onion strips, then drizzle with the prepared sauce.
Roll tightly and enjoy your dairy-free duck pancakes.
