Asian Duck Wraps With Hoisin Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar, divided
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 1 1/4 pounds boned duck breast halves (skin on; see headnote)
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese-style hot mustard
- 3 green onions, cut into 2-in. lengths and slivered lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 moo shu pancakes* (7 in. round), thawed
- In a large bowl, mix 2 tbsp. each soy sauce and rice vinegar, the ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and Chinese five spice. Add duck breasts, turn to coat well, cover, and chill 2 hours. Lift breasts from marinade (discard marinade), and lay, skin up, on a baking sheet; chill, uncovered, overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix hoisin, sugar, mustard, and remaining 2 tbsp. each soy sauce and rice vinegar. Fill another bowl with ice water, and add green onions.
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0. Set a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add vegetable oil, then duck breasts, skin down. Cook until skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Carefully tilt pan and spoon out excess duck fat. Turn breasts skin up, and transfer pan to oven.
- Bake until duck is still slightly pink in the center of thickest part (cut one to test), about 8 minutes. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Drain green onions.
- Transfer duck breasts to a board and thinly slice. Carefully separate pancakes and lay each flat. Fold each round in half and add several slices of duck. Spoon a little sauce over duck, and top with slivers of green onion. Fold one side of pancake over duck, then roll up into a bundle. Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
- *You can find moo shu pancakes (sometimes labeled "moc shu") in Asian markets and in well-stocked supermarkets.
