Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place 16 12-inch bamboo skewers in water to soak. Peel the skin and fat off the duck breast (see note). Slice the breast at an angle, across the grain, about ¼-inch thick. You should have about 16 slices. Lay them on a cutting board, cover with plastic and lightly pound with a mallet or the side of a cleaver.

  2. Step 2

    Dust duck slices on both sides with the five-spice powder, salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, combine the orange juice, zest and hoisin. Thread each duck slice onto a skewer. Brush on both sides with some sauce. Add the vinegar to the remaining sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Prepare a grill or a grill pan to very hot. Grill or sear the skewers until the duck is lightly browned, turning once, not more than a minute on each side. Arrange on a serving platter. Lightly drizzle some sauce over the duck and pass the rest in a small dish on the side.

Tip
  • Do not discard the skin and fat. Dice them and place in a saucepan over low heat until the fat has liquefied. Strain the fat into a container and refrigerate to use for cooking. Save the crisped skin for salads or a snack.
