Crispy "Peking Duck" Lettuce Cups - Faster, easier and better -

I meant that the one of these days we'll actually make a good Peking duck recipe, but that is probably not going to happen. It takes several steps, several days, and requires a place to hang ducks to dry. Most modern homes do not have a duck drying room.

However, using this relatively quick and simple technique, we can achieve something so similar that many people would say, all things considered, is even better. Well, maybe not "many," but I would say. They were really, really good.

regarding the Chinese five-spice seen here; Mine contained cinnamon, aniseed, cloves, ginger and fennel; but these ingredients can vary. Believe it or not, despite its name, many contain more than five spices, as things such as pepper, nutmeg, orange peel and cardamom, are also common additions. The good news is, for something like this, any combination of function.

If you are not in lettuce cups for some reason, you can also use this technique to serve the whole duck thighs. The only difference is, do not cut them. Since this is something that can be done well in advance, it works great for large groups. Simply heat and brown the skin before serving. I really hope you give these a try soon. Have fun!
