Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces skinless, boneless duck breast
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons plum jam or hoisin sauce
Pinch dried chili flakes
8 Chinese wheat-flour pancakes
1 tablespoon sunflower or peanut oil
4 scallions, trimmed and slivered
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut in matchsticks
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves plus sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Halve duck breast horizontally. Then cut with the grain in thin slivers. Mix 1 tablespoon soy sauce with honey, five-spice powder and pepper, toss with duck, and set aside.
  • Heat sesame oil in small saucepan, add garlic, cook briefly, then stir in vinegar, jam, chili flakes and remaining soy sauce. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat to blend, then strain through a sieve, mashing the garlic. Set sauce aside.
  • Place pancakes on a heat-proof plate. Cover with foil. Set them on top of pan of simmering water to warm.
  • Heat sunflower or peanut oil in wok or skillet. Drain duck in sieve to remove excess marinade, add to wok, and stir-fry over high heat 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Remove from heat.
  • Spread warm pancakes with sauce mixture. Top with strips of duck, scallion and cucumber, sprinkle with cilantro, and roll up. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve.
