Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare Duck: Pat completely dry. Prick the skin all over (skin and fat only). Season generously with Brisca Herb 'n' Salt and stuff the cavity loosely with ginger and green onions.
Roast Duck: Place breast side up on a rack over a deep tray. Roast at 160°C for about 2 hours, draining rendered fat halfway through. Increase oven to 220°C and roast 30–40 minutes more until deeply golden and crisp. Rest 15 minutes before carving. Slice into finger-width strips, keeping skin attached.
Make Pancakes: Combine flour and salt. Add boiling water and mix until shaggy. Knead into a soft dough and rest covered 30 minutes. Divide into small balls. Flatten two balls, lightly oil one side of each, stack oil-to-oil, and roll thin (12–15 cm). Cook in a dry pan 30–45 seconds per side. Peel apart while warm and keep wrapped in a towel.
Make Grape Escape Sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in honey and soy sauce, then add Brisca Grape Escape and season lightly with salt. Blend until smooth and return to low heat. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer 30 seconds until glossy. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.
Sauce Moment: Spread a spoonful of warm Grape Escape sauce onto each pancake. Add crispy duck strips, cucumber, and green onions. Top with another light spoon of sauce, fold, and serve immediately.
