With store cupboard ingredients, simple sides and a delicious accompanying sauce, this Slow Cooker Peking Style Duck is fantastic as part of a banquet or takeaway dinner. After a quick coating and 3 hours in your slow cooker, you’re left with tender meat that falls apart with easy shredding, a simple reduced-down Chinese style sauce, and serve with pancakes, cucumber and spring onion. No faffing but such a treat!
Why you’ll love this Slow Cooker Duck recipe
⭐️ Flavour-packed fakeaway treat ⭐️ Tender, fall apart delicious duck ⭐️ Something a little different! The duck is raised, flavoured, hung and cooked in a very specific way in the authentic versions, which can take many days. ‘Crispy Aromatic Duck‘ is often used in British takeaway versions of a similar dish. I would say that it’s not a replacement for CRISPY duck, as it can be hard to get the skin to crisp up properly when slow cooking, BUT it is very succulent and flavour-filled, so I am happy to compromise on that for an easier method. This is a slow cooker, make at home method, very much in the vague style of Peking Duck rather than being in any way authentic. If you’d like to learn more about authentic homemade Peking Duck, this recipe at Red House Spice looks delicious. In the freezer You can freeze the duck and the sauce separately for another day. Defrost and reheat thoroughly when you’re ready to enjoy it. The meat may be a little drier than when it was fresh, but it will still be delicious.
