2 breasts Mallard skin scored
130 ml Hoisin sauce
2 tbs dry sherry

First make the marinade. Combine the sherry, sesame oil, 5 spice, ginger, garlic and 10ml of Hoisin sauce in a bowl.

Once cooked to your liking remove the breasts from the pan and loosely cover with foil to rest for at least 5 mins. In the meantime heat the pancakes in a warm oven. Carve the mallard breasts thinly, or shred if well done.
Spoon a little of the hoi sin sauce onto one of the pancakes and add spring onions, cucumber and your perfectly cooked mallard. Wrap it all up and enjoy. Repeat until they’ve all gone. It won’t take long……….!
