Peking Duck Pancake
Description
This recipe for Peking Duck Pancake begins by mixing hot boiling water into all-purpose flour to form a smooth, rested dough enriched with sesame oil for subtle nutty flavor. After resting, the dough is divided and rolled into very thin, 16 to 20 cm diameter wrappers. They are briefly steamed one at a time, stacking as they cook to finish all wrappers efficiently.
After steaming, the pancakes are paired up, brushed with oil, and rolled together before pan-frying. Frying creates a lightly browned, dotted surface and bonds the two pancakes so they can be torn apart easily when warm. The texture combines softness with a slight crispness and chew, ideal for holding duck and condiments.
These pancakes are traditionally served as wraps for Peking duck, scallions, and hoisin sauce, but their delicate texture makes them suitable for other fillings or uses where a tender, flexible wrapper is desired.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water hot boiling plus 20ml for adjusting
- 3 tablespoon sesame oil or other vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir in hot water. Set aside until cool down. Knead until smooth dough. Covered and rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 18 similar portions.
Steamed pancake
- Take one portion out and then roll it into a paper thin wrapper around 16 to 20 cm in diameter.
- Prepare a steamer and place a lining paper. Place one wrapper in and cover the lid and steam for 1 minute until the wrapper is almost cooked. During this time, roll another piece and then place the new one over the steamed one. Continue steaming for 1 minute before adding the next piece. Repeat the finish all the wrappers.
Pan-fried pancake
- Take one portion out and flatten. Brush oil on the surface. Then overlay with another small portion. Roll the two pieces together.
- Brush a small layer of oil on a pan (only a small amount needed) and fry over medium fire until one side is brownly dotted and then turn over and fry the other side.
- Tear the two pieces apart when the pancake is still warm.
