Chinese duck is my favourite duck. I chew on the bones it’s so good. In China I got bones served to me after the Peking duck spread, they were fried and crunchy and black. They were so tasty. It had a name but I can’t remember. Whether it’s expensive or cheap rotisserie duck in China, it’s amazing and can’t get enough of it. This recipe looks great, the maltose appears to be in all the recipes, it must favour the duck, but also crisps that beautiful skin. Great vid:)
I started to drool as I watched this video. I can eat duck once a week. I never thought that chinese food could be done sous vide. I have been cooking sous vide for over 10 years and will be making this duck soon. What a beautifully prepared video...clear, crisp presentation just like the duck. A thousand thanks for your contribution to good eating.
Hallo Top Chef.. Sous Vide.. Recioi kamu bagus, istimewah dan lengkap... Tetapi isi itek bakar kurang masak lagi, patut Oven 220 c 40 minutes.. Ok.. Gd job.. Kam Sheah. !
I'm making it. Had to cut the duck in half to fit my Sou Vide water oven. Should have remembered to add dried tangerine peels to the marinade. I'm really looking forward to finishing it. I hope this overcomes the common defect that regular Pei Pa ducks have of being dried out. thanks very much.
I have made this duck from your recipe a couple of times now. Currently making another for Chinese New Years. Excellent recipe. Family agreed even the bones were delicious!
We made this tonight. Used the convection oven to speed the drying step post sous vide. Served it on a bed of home-made egg noodles. Even our extremely picky first grader loved it!
An old fashioned Hong Kong street snack is to get a chopstick, twirl up some maltose and put it between two saltine crackers. Sweet and salty! Or you can make our Chinese BBQ pork recipe, also need maltose 😉
Ok wow, so cool! I knew you guys were Canadian because you've mentioned it, so I always hoped I'd be able to get the same ingredients that you use, and them Bam! I ALSO shop at King Cole ducks - that's where I get my duck breasts from that I cook sous vide. I always assumed anyone on the internet was far away lol. I've never actually bought a whole duck from there, but now I'm thinking I might give this recipe a shot! Literally bought this type of pre-cooked duck from Centra grocery store just a few days ago because I had a craving, and now I can just make it at home! You guys rock - keep up the awesome videos!! :D
Yes, small world. We’ve known about King Cole Ducks but this was the first time we made it out to their shop. Will definitely be going back. Making at home gets you done awesomely moist meat. Let us know when you make it. Thanks for watching!!
I got so excited when I this video in my subscription feed! Cantonese roasted duck is my FAVORITE dish. I had it for the first time a couple of years ago when I was in Hong Kong. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. The meat looks so juicy and delicious! I will definitely be recreating this dish at home. 🤗🤗🤗
@@KindofCooking It went very good. I had to replace few ingridients, so it probably was far from perfect. What I learned - In my case it was a little too much to cook whole duck. Next time I will make only breasts and legs and use other parts for bone broth/ stock. Thank you for answering my question. 🙂

Hello i love your videos thanks. I have just revisited this video - have you extended the cooking time since i was last watching? Interested to know why?
Nathan Houpapa hey there. Thanks for watching and your support. I don’t believe we ever changed the cook time. Should be same? Hehe hopefully not a mistake 😳
@@KindofCooking Thanks for your reply - I didnt think so! For some reason i thought it was 9 hours (which i tried) and came back again to see it is 12. Thanks for your great videos.
You have me hooked. Probably sacrilegious but I am going try this recipe on Cornish Game hens before investing in a Pekin Duck. Thanks for the wine substitution suggestion. I was able to find all the other ingredients.
I sous vide Cornish hens all the time and finish them this way. The only difference is less time and fewer ingredients, but definitely worth it. I'm starting the duck tomorrow for Thanksgiving dinner.
I tried with other birds and found that it burns the skin and puts holes in it due to the intense heat. Maybe if there was some sort of diffuser. You also want some time to render the fat under the skin.
My mouth was watering throughout this whole video. This looks amazing. When I make duck a l’orange, after roasting the duck in the oven, I put it under broiler for 5-10 mins to get the skin extra crispy. Do you think this will work on this recipe or will it burn because of the maltose on the skin?
Thanks for watching. I found the broiler didn’t give me as good results as a hot oven. The duck needs some time to render the fat. The skin will burn before it renders enough to crisp.
Great question, hmm lol I know this is going to sound silly, but I would pair it with really simple things - white rice, boiled Yu choi, bok choi, or gailan. The duck is already pretty flavorful. If I was serving for a party, I would have other bbq meats and if I was feeling really fancy maybe some shrimp or crab crackers. If I was really really fancy, many some glutenous 8 treasures rice. Hope that gives you some ideas.
I have a question. How is it that you’re able to vacuum seal the duck with the liquid in it? Because when I tried making this, I had trouble with my Food Saver machine in which some of the liquid gets sucked out. What do I do to solve the problem, or should I use a certain brand with a certain model?
Hello, after watching your "pulled pork" video, I was wondering if you evern considered smoking the duck after cooking it? If so , would you change any of the instructions or cooking temperature? Or how to achieve the mahogany color with this additional step? Thank you
Smoked duck is on my list. I haven't figured out the right combination yet though. One thing with the smoke, is that you need it at a lower temperature, the lower temperatures turn the skin to leather. Hopefully I can figure this out soon and get back to you.
You could cheat by using a little liquid smoke in the marinade. Real smoke is more nuanced but since there's so many other flavors going on, it would be hard to tell that it wasn't real smoke. If you did use real smoke, you'd be better off cold-smoking it to be able to crisp the skin without overcooking it.
I tried this recipe today, and the duck is now in the sous vide. The only challenge was the maltose, i tried to microwave it but as soon as I try to mix it into the marinade, it crystallizes and hardens up, not able to get to mix properly. Do you have any advice, I will have to use it at the later stage before roasting again
Hahaha it is a pain to Deal with isn’t it. My trick was to keep microwaving it and mix it in on smaller batches to not slow it to clump. Hopefully not too late for your preparation.
@@KindofCooking For the glaze, i melted the Maltose on a double boiler, and mixed in the red vinegar, was much easier to mix. The Duck smelt amazing after coming out of the Sous vide, it's in the fridge now to dry out. THanks for the great recipe.
@@KindofCooking Would it just be poached in water or in a marinade? I remember having it as a child and it was so tasty so I was thinking if they steamed or poached it that would remove a lot of the flavour. Or do they remarinade it after poaching? I had totally forgotten about this. This video reminded me of eating it when younger. Thanks for this video.
theuglykwan I need to check, but I think it’s poached in mostly water with the ginger, scallions, and some other aromatics. It’s then brushed with the sauce (different on both sides) then roasted.
Someone did try it with chicken with good results. We haven't personally tried it, but I think it would work. You can adjust the cooking time accordingly. Probably cut in half depending on the size of your chicken.
I'm sure you could. Adjust the time and temperature accordingly. You probably don't need as much time in the sous vide as you would for duck. Go with timing closer to our whole soy sauce chicken, I think closer to 3 hours, but do it according to the size of your bird.
I just watched out of your videos for the first time. I thought it was great! Really good camera and mics. Funny how many on TH-cam don't realize how critical that is! Also noticed that you haven't done videos in a while. Hopefully you will start again. If you keep producing them with this kind of quality, your subscribers will only climb!
I learnt to not ever use garlic in sous vide, or rosemary (which you have not used here) because they both change flavor in a bad way. If you want to use garlic, use garlic powder,that works somehow... (I prefer fresh garlic over dried garlic, just not in this 1 case)
@@KindofCooking Ahaha you were able to read it😂 Anyway, I'm a fairly new fan of your channel. I also have sous vide machine and use it like every week. I enjoy your delicious sous vide content 🥰
HAHA! Very true, you can just use it in the ziplock. If you were to do that, I would consider double bagging it though. The bones are a bit sharp, so there's a possibility to pierce through the bag.
You Guys, Loved the video and "liked " it but who would really go through that much work for a crispy , flavourful duck? Much simpler and gratifying ways to get there.
Only used about 6 times so far but food turning out great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 Nice tender roasts. You do want to get a lid to go over your stock pot to keep water from evaporating. I've used it for 6-48 hours with lots of luck. A lot is trial and error to figure out since thickness and cut help determine the best time. 135 always gives a perfect med (pink all the way through). I cooked frozen solid 3 1/2" roast for 48 hours ... it was so tender its almost falling apart. Nice to put it in and just forget about it, with silicone lid I didn't have to add water at all during 48 hours.
It's 3AM and my mouth is watering!!!!
This duck recipe is the best I’ve ever seen
Very well done video -- no BS, clear, direct and above all, useful. Thank you.
So many good tips in this video. Thank you!
I like your honest taste tests at the end. No need for exaggerated anime reactions to your own cooking like many cooking shows.
Yum! Suddenly I'm craving SV roast duck. Great job!!!
Thanks! I feel hungry every time I see the photo!
OMG this duck looks so good!
Thanks! This is one of the best ones we've made.

9:07 Can you re-crisp the skin by torching it with a flame thrower?
If you do not have sous vide can you poach the duct and dry it out instead?
Hello, there!
May I ask what is the sauce that you used to dip the duck with?
King Cole duck is lovely, but have you tried them from Lac Brome?
What can I substitute Chinese red bean curd?
What kind of vaccum sealer do you have? Mine doesn't have a pulse function.
Looks great.. new sub..THANKS!!!

Hi, can this recipe be made without the Sous Vide by letting the duck marinade in the fridge overnight? I don't own the machine.
Definitely, can. Finish in a hot oven until cooked.
Legend has it that if you get maltose in your hand you will never be able to wash it off.
Trying since 1992
Always wet your hands before handling maltose that’s my 2cents worth 😂😂😂

Always remove the hair/feather off the skin before cooking the duck
Quarter that shit up and put it in ziplock bags. Ain't no need to be fancy
HAHA! Very true, you can just use it in the ziplock. If you were to do that, I would consider double bagging it though. The bones are a bit sharp, so there's a possibility to pierce through the bag.
