    It was REALLY REALLY good, thank you very much for the hairdryer idea, I think that was what sealed it. If anything it was a little too crispy but then I left it in the oven a bit too long, third time lucky on this one I think, and maybe I'll use a little muscoivado sugar next tiem in the galze too. Was slightly too salty for me, but YUM none the less

    So thanking you very muchly :)

    My local decent takeaway charges 7.00 for duck & pancakes I made double the amount you usually get with them for £3. All good :)

    Hey lynz!! This sounds yummy, so what exactly did you do/use to make this delish dish?? I love duck but it is very expensive so if I could make it at home that would be ace!!

    Aromatic duck. Spilt duck in half lengthways. In a pestke and mortar, grind 2 tbsp 5 spice, 1 tbsp peppercorns, 2 tbsp cumin seeds, 1 tbsp rock salt, 1 tbsp dark brown sugar. Rub all over duck on both sides. Leave for a few hours, preferably over night.

    Steam over a pan of boiling water for 1.5 hours. Allow to cool completely. Heat 2 inches of oil in wok. Fry the duck skin side down over moderate heat for 10 - 12 mins, turn over and fry for a further 5 mins. Remove and allow to drain and cool slightly. Shred completely with two forks and serve with pancakes.

    Invite me to dinner!

    I'm so going to be trying this this week.
    Getting there... A deal at a time. :T
