About the recipe
I love crispy duck pancakes, and this is a simple way to knock up the Chinese takeaway classic at home.
Recipe From
1.2 kg duck
salt
five-spice
fresh ginger
10-12 destoned plums
5 tablespoons sugar
2 pinches five-spice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon chilli powder
grated orange zest
½ cucumber
1 bunch spring onions
2 packs pre-made pancakes
Support your local duck farmers – look for free-range farms in your area and help the British farming industry. Free-range ducks have freedom to roam outdoors and the provision of open water, allowing them to display their natural instincts of splashing and swimming. Living a good life generally means they have better flavour and texture.
Peking duck is something that has always been very close to the Oliver family. Bizarrely enough, the fact that my parents ran a pub restaurant meant that we very rarely went out for dinner as a family, but when we did, my old man used to take us out to this Chinese restaurant in Sawbridgeworth where we all fell in love with Peking duck.
