Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Duck Breasts skin on
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp.
  • Chinese 5 Spice Blend
  • Pancakes I just use a good tortilla, you're welcome to make your own
  • Plum Sauce

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Mix the salt, pepper, and 5 spice together.
  2. Step 2- Score the skin of the duck breast with three deep lines, then rub in the spices.
  3. Step 3- Place the duck breast, skin side down on a cool pan, set the temp to low.
  4. Step 4 - After about 10 minutes duck fat should begin to render out of the skin, use this to keep other side moist.
  5. Step 5- (Depending on your preference of doneness) Once the skin is crispy, flip the breast, quickly browning the other side and then set aside, tenting the breast in aluminum foil.
  6. Step 6- In a non-stick pan, take a bit of the duck fat and heat it. Then add your tortilla and cook it until the bread puffs up.
  7. Step 7- Spread the plum sauce on the tortilla and then cut your duck breast (against the grain) and serve with the tortilla.
  8. Enjoy!
