anyone have any idea how to cook the duck like they do when you get it from a chinese restaurant when the duck is nice and crispy and served with pancakes, cucumber, spring onion and hoi-sin sauce (i think)

been looking on the net and there seems to be loads of different ways of cooking duck

 

Any help:

Yep, after some prep work.

 

At Tesco's they do a box with everything in!

hmmm i love crispy duck, i thought it was oven baked then deep fried? Got some duck breast in the freezer yum

 

Crispy duck is completey different from Peking Duck, where its a longer process and theres siply no comparison.

All it is marinated duck, deep fried. It has one of the biggest profit margins at takeways.

I used to tell our customers it was a rip-off......



but only to stop them from going across the road to a takeaway that did serve it.

 

cheers for the replies lads, completely forgot i posted on here,

went ok, tho not as crispy as wen you get it from the takeaway

ate pretty much the whole duck to myself! lol

 

One of those dishes I never thought it would be worth trying at home, bit like good curry. I'll try it one day

 

Its boiled first ...Water , hoi sin sauce, star anisee, fresh ginger crushed , chinese five spice powder, Salt, a little sugar and soy sauce .. Half the duck boil in the sauce for about half an hour until soft to touch and the rib bones etc feel easy enough to pull away . Leave to strain for a while and then deep fry
