Rinse the duck with cold water for 30 seconds.

Bring the crispy water to boil then use a big spoon again to pour it all over the duck for another 30 seconds.

Hang the duck and let dry for 4 hours with a fan on ( it is winter now, so I hang it outside)

Brush the skin paste all over the duck and let dry then repeat it one more time.

Brush some oil all over the duck before you put it inside the preheat 380F oven.

Roast it with breast side up for 30 minutes then turn the duck and roast for another 30 minutes. Turn the duck one more time with breast up for another 20 to 30 minutes or until the thickest part of meat’s temperature reaches 165F.

Roast Duck Buns/烤鸭夹包

IMG_5036

I bought this roast duck from Costco the other day and it was surprisingly good. I didn’t expect prepackaged duck can be this delicious. It was so tender and juicy! The package was 2 half ducks, after I ate the first half with the orange sauce that comes with it, I didn’t feel like to eat the other half with the sauce again because the sauce was too sweet for me. So here is how I ate my other half: roast duck with steam buns. It was even better!!!

Heat up the duck and steam buns as directed on the packages, chop up some scallion and cilantro, get some hoisin sauce. And here you go: yummy delicious dish with only 15 minutes to prepare.
