Roast Duck Lettuce Wrap
This dish has quickly become my go-to for dinner parties. It’s simple, consisting of just an overnight marinade, some time roasting in the oven, and the pleasurable process of shredding the meat from the bones. Simple, store-bought hoisin sauce is used as a dipping sauce, and of course, I top the meat with scallions. For those who do not wish to get their hands involved to eat the lettuce wraps, the shredded duck meat is definitely good enough to eat on its own or over rice. I cannot deny that I shoved some forkfuls in my mouth as I shredded the meat.
