Buying a ready-cooked duck from a Chinese market can make for easy entertaining. It is also economical and you will get a product that is almost impossible to replicate in the home kitchen. These ducks are cooked hanging in the oven and basted with delicious marinades. Along with the duck, buy some duck pancakes. Again, you will never be able to make these as perfectly unless you were born to it.
1 Shred the duck.
2 Slice spring onion and cucumber into a small dice and mix this with some grated carrot and very finely sliced green cabbage.
3 Dress this with a little sesame oil and lemon juice.
4 You could add tiny bits of deseeded red chilli, chopped mint and coriander.
