Ingredients

• 1 large (approximately 500g) duck breast
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
• 4 stalks spring onions
• 1 medium cucumber
• 12 Chinese pancakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

Step 3

Rub the skin with sea salt and ground white pepper.

Step 4

Place the duck breast, skin-side down, in a cold, oven-safe skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 8-10 minutes to render the fat and crisp the skin.

Step 5

Once the skin is golden and crispy, turn the duck breast over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 6

Roast the duck breast for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Remove the duck breast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin pieces.

Step 8

While the duck is resting, prepare the spring onions and cucumber. Slice the spring onions finely into long strips. Cut the cucumber into long matchsticks.

Step 9

Warm the Chinese pancakes according to the package instructions.

Step 10

To assemble, spread a teaspoon of hoisin sauce over a pancake. Place slices of duck, spring onion strips, and cucumber matchsticks on top.

Step 11

Roll up the pancake tightly around the filling and serve immediately.
