How to Make Crispy Duck Breast - Recipe in description

This duck is prepared to taste like the original Chinese recipe, with super crispy, crackly skin.

Preparation time: 30 minutes.
Difficulty: Easy
Calories per serving: Unspecified

Ingredients for 1 person:
1 duck breast (French variety Muscovy)
1 teaspoon of five-spice powder
2 teaspoons of starch
6 cl of soy sauce
4 cl of water
500 ml of frying oil

Wash, clean and dry the duck breast. Make diamond-shaped cuts every 1 cm on the skin side and moisten for about 20 minutes in a steamer. Remove and dry.

I just tried this recipe myself and this is by far the best duck I have ever made, Thank you so much for finally putting this unique recipe out there. It is totally different than other duck breast recipes, but probably this is how every chinese restaurant is able to serve amazing duck.

Dont listen to these other mean commentators who cant recognize a good trick when they see it.

People who hate this, just get over it, meat does not need to be all raw or pink I like my meat well done and people who hate It should chill out, food is like clothing some find flip-flops and socks good so let them wear it if they like it...

This is the recipe I have been looking for. The other thing I am still looking for is a duck breast the same size as the one used in your recipe. I cannot source one anywhere. All UK supermarkets seem to stock one size only, small!

[pdragon]

[a_potted_plant]

That looks great! Could one make this using chicken breast instead?

I have tried to make Crispy Duck at least half a dozen times, as I have been trying to match a crispy duck dish I ate at a Chinese restaurant in London nearly 15 years ago. Well last night I saw this recipe video and decided to give it a try, Results were excellent! The flavor was as close as I could remember to that dish I ate 15 year earlier! It was a hit with the all 3 of my kids....I would recommend cooking in the oil for only 2 minutes...so the meat is a little more tender. I ended up cooking for 3 minutes at an oil temp of around 350F. I just need to find the perfect sauce to pair with this duck.

Gonna try this with orange sauce to add to the taste
