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.

Categories     Bread     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy     Gourmet

Yield Makes 24 whole pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 2

twenty-four 6- to 8-inch flour tortillas
1/4 cup Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Brush one side of each tortilla with some oil and stack on a large sheet of foil. Wrap tortillas loosely in the foil and heat on middle rack of oven until warm, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve pancakes whole or halved.

Tips:

  • To ensure the dough is smooth and elastic, knead it for at least 10 minutes.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help it to become more pliable and easier to work with.
  • Roll the dough out as thinly as possible. The thinner the pancakes, the crispier they will be.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. Make sure it's hot enough so that the pancakes sizzle when they hit the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite fillings.
