Peking Duck is one of the most popular recipes in Chinese cuisine. This dish consists of crispy strips of duck served on thin crepes with sauce, spring onion, and cucumber. The traditional version of this recipe is exquisite but takes a long time to prepare and bake. That's why we want to show you this delicious, super-quick version that you can prepare with just 6 ingredients!

We discovered this recipe in the book How Does a Chef Cook at Home? by Eugeni de Diego. Eugeni, the co-founder of 'A Pluma,' stopped by the office to say hello and bring us a copy of his book. Being huge fans of his restaurant, we couldn't resist trying his recipes. We had a hard time deciding which one to start with, but this recipe was clearly a winner. It's super easy to prepare, and its incredible flavor and texture transported us straight back to the Chinese restaurants of our childhood.

How to Prepare Peking Duck by Eugeni de Diego


 

1. Make some cuts on the skin of the magret and season with salt and pepper.

2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sear the duck breast. There's no need to add oil because the duck's own fat will prevent it from sticking. Turn it over and sear it on the other side for 2 minutes.2 minutes .

3. Remove the magret from the pan and wrap it in aluminum foil for 3 minutes to allow the heat to reach the center of the meat.

4. In a small bowl, mix the Hoisin sauce with the sesame oil and set aside.

5. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin sticks along with the spring onion. Store the sticks in cold water to prevent them from oxidizing.

6. Steam the wafers and slice the magret thinly.

7. Serve the different ingredients separately so everyone can prepare their own pancakes. Assemble them by brushing the wafer with hoisin sauce and placing a piece of duck on top. Don't forget to add the cucumber and spring onion for a refreshing touch.
