Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Duck breast, skinless
- 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 stalks Scallions, sliced
- 1 large Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 8 pieces Crepes or soft tortillas
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, five-spice powder, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
Place the duck breasts in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later use. Let the duck marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help any excess fat render out during cooking and prevent steaming.
Place the marinated duck breasts on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Roast the duck breasts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the duck is roasting, prepare the dipping sauce by simmering the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
To serve, place slices of duck on the crepe or tortilla. Top with cucumber slices and scallions. Drizzle with the warm dipping sauce.
Wrap and enjoy your delicious low-fat Peking duck!
