- Chef’s Tips:
- Duck may be blanched ahead of time and kept uncovered in the refrigerator until required. This also assists in drying the skin for extra crispiness.
- Cooked duck maybe re-crisped in a hot oven 400° F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Steamed Asian veggies, rice and Chinese pickles round it out.
