Tips
- Most oriental supermarkets now stock pre-cooked crispy aromatic duck and it can be found in the freezer. Helping you to save time in recreating this tasty dish!
- Hoi sin is a well-known sauce to accompany this dish, however if you have slightly sweeter taste buds we would recommend the Peking duck sauce.
