Charsiu Pulled Duck Tacos (2 Tacos) Recipe

Prepare the Duck

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large oven-safe pot, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, five spice powder, minced garlic cloves, and grated ginger. Stir well.

Cook the Duck

Add the duck legs to the pot, ensuring they are well coated in the sauce. Pour in 2 cups of water. Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 2-3 hours until the duck is tender and easily pulls apart.

Shred the Duck

Once cooked, remove the duck from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding the bones and excess fat. Return the shredded duck to the pot and mix with the remaining sauce.

Prepare the Slaw

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until the slaw is well mixed.

Fry the Wonton Wrappers

In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the wonton wrappers in batches. Fry until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Place the pulled duck onto each tortilla, followed by a generous amount of cabbage slaw. Top with wonton crisps for added crunch.
