Peking Roast Duck Pizza Recipes

PEKING DUCK PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. The dough will be slightly sticky. Add a little more flour as needed.
• Cover with plastic wrap and leave to sit for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, knead the dough again, cover, and leave to proof for 2 hours in a warm spot.
• To the caramelized onion jam, add 1/2 tsp 5-spice powder and mix.
• In a food processor, add in the garlic and pulse until fine. Drizzle in the oil and continue to pulse until a smooth paste forms.
• Transfer garlic oil paste into a clean jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Place the Baking Steel on the bottom rack of your oven.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F/260°C. (Do this about 1 hour before you plan to bake the pizzas off).
• Dust your work surface with some flour. Divide the pizza dough into 3 portions.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper and stretch out the pizza dough into a circle about 10-12" in diameter, leaving a perimeter for the crust.
• Spread 1 Tbsp garlic oil paste on the surface of the dough. Add the roast bbq duck slices, caramelized onions and green onions.
• Use a pizza paddle and place the pizza dough onto the Baking Steel and cook for 6-7 minutes, until golden brown. You can use the broiler for 2-3 minutes if you prefer a darker crust.
• Remove from oven. Garnish with extra green onions, cilantro, and red onions. Drizzle hoisin sauce on top.
• Slice the Peking Duck pizza and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.

PEKING ROAST DUCK PIZZA

Steps:

• Place into a mixing bowl hoisin sauce, plum sauce, chili, salt, garlic, onion and sesame oil and combine set aside until needed.
• Preheat oven to 450°. Place a half size baking pan into the oven for 20 minutes.
• Place the roast duck onto a cutting broad and hand shredded into pieces.
• Place the pizza crust onto a flat surface. Brush some plum hoisin sauce onto the crust and top with cheese, parsley leaves, and shredded duck meat, sliced onion and tomatoes and lightly with cheese.
• Place onto the hot baking pan and into the oven. About 15 minutes or until the pizza is golden brown.
• Slice and serve hot.

PEKING DUCK

Steps:

• For the duck: Prick the duck all over with a small knife or fork. Carefully pour hot water over the duck to rinse. Discard the hot water. Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and dry all over by patting it with paper towels. Sprinkle the duck with salt and pepper and leave it in the roasting pan until ready to cook.
• In a small bowl, mix together the honey, 6 tablespoons water, five-spice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Brush the duck all over, inside and out. Let dry for about 10 minutes and then brush again. Repeat this process until you have used all but 4 to 5 tablespoons of the glaze (reserve this glaze). Ideally, let the glaze marinate on the duck overnight, leaving it uncovered in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the duck in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Flip the duck over, baste with the reserved glaze and cook until the skin is crisp and golden brown, another 45 minutes. Make sure you check halfway through that it is not getting too dark. If it is getting too dark before half the cook time is up, turn your heat down and lower the rack in the oven. When the duck is cooked, remove from the oven and let rest while you make your sauce.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and set aside. Next, heat a pan or wok over medium heat and add the hoisin, sugar, sesame oil and soy sauce. When the sauce starts to bubble slightly, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well to thicken. Set aside and let cool. Carve and slice some duck. Place a teaspoon of the sauce in the center of each pancake, add a couple slices of duck, garnish with the scallions and cucumbers and serve immediately.

DUCK PIZZA WITH HOISIN AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle duck with five-spice powder, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Cook duck until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven; bake duck until outside is cooked but inside is rare, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 4 to 5 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal into 8 pieces, then cut each in half. Set aside. Form dough into 8 even balls, then flatten to form 3-inch disks and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread hoisin sauce on crusts with a pastry brush. Top with spinach, cheese, bell pepper and duck. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

PEKING DUCK

Steps:

• Place all the honey syrup ingredients in a large pan with 1.2 litres water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, rinse the duck well, blot it completely dry with kitchen paper, then put it on a rack in a roasting tin. Using a ladle, pour the syrup over the duck several times until the skin is completely coated on all sides. Leave the duck to dry out, uncovered, in the fridge overnight. When the duck has dried, the skin should feel like parchment paper.
• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Sit the duck breast-side up on the rack in the roasting tin. Add 150ml water to the tin to prevent the fat from spattering, then roast in the oven for 15 mins. Reduce the heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and continue to roast for 1 hr 10 mins.
• Remove the duck from the oven and let it sit for at least 10 mins before you carve it. Using a cleaver or a sharp knife, cut the skin and meat into pieces and arrange them on a warm serving platter. Or, if you prefer, shred the meat using two forks.
• Serve at once with the pancakes, spring onions and a bowl of hoisin sauce.

PEKING DUCK

Steps:

• Rinse the duck inside and out, and pat dry. Cut off tail and discard. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, white pepper and cloves. Sprinkle one teaspoon of the mixture into the cavity of the duck. Stir one tablespoon of the soy sauce into the remaining spice mixture and rub evenly over the entire outside of the bird. Cut one of the green onions in half and tuck inside the cavity. Cover and refrigerate the bird for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Place duck breast side up on a rack in a big enough wok or pot and steam for an hour adding a little more water, if necessary, as it evaporates. Lift duck with two large spoons, and drain juices and green onion.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place duck breast side up in a roasting pan and prick skin all over using a fork.
• Roast for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. While the duck is roasting, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and honey. After 30 minutes, brush the honey mixture onto the duck and return it to the oven. Turn the heat up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Roast for 5 minutes, or until the skin is richly browned. Do not allow the skin to char.
• Prepare the duck sauce by mixing the plum jam with the sugar, vinegar and chutney in a small serving bowl. Chop remaining green onions and place them into a separate bowl. Place whole duck onto a serving platter and garnish with orange slices and fresh parsley. Use plum sauce and onions for dipping.
