I was craving for Peking duck after reading this post from eatshowandtell. What a clever and easy way to transform a store-bought roast duck to a crispy skin Peking duck!
There I was in Chatswood (mini Chinatown on North Shore of Sydney) buying a roast duck on a Saturday morning. I was hesitating whether I should buy the Peking duck pancakes, but I decided not to as I had some wanton wrappers in the fridge. Why not add a modern twist to this old classic?
Peking Duck Cocktail Wantons Recipe
Makes 24
1 store-bought roast duck, boned, skin-on and thinly sliced
24 wanton wrappers
1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
Hoisin sauce (海鲜酱), to drizzle
Finely chopped spring onions, for garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Brush both sides of 12 wanton wrappers with oil. Ease into a 12 x 1/3 cup capacity muffin pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining wrappers and oil.
- Place wanton cases onto a serving plate.
- Arrange a little diced cucumber in the bottom of each. Top with 2 slices of duck. Drizzle with hoisin sauce and garnish with spring onion.

Great cocktail food idea and I like how easy it is! They ought to have done something similar on the Masterchef canape battle ;)
Wow! I can't believe such a great looking (and sounding) dish can be that easy! The hard part for me may be finding a roast duck...
I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
Best,

P.S. I just love the title "Almost Bourdain." It really says so much...
Now this is a twist to the usualy peking duck wraps. Great idea and ideal party finger foods.
wow, that looks great! Something I'll try sometime I think..
Very creative and lovely presentation!
oh nice! I can imagine the contrasting textures would be awesome. The softness of the duck and the crunch of the wontons, great idea.
@ Lorraine: Haha! This cocktail is too easy, probably won't impress the judges.
@ Tastestopping: You can replace the roast duck with roast chicken. ;-) Thanks for the link!
