Buy a Chinese roasted duck, but tell the butcher to leave it whole (ask him to cut off the head, though). You can find Mandarin pancakes or duck pancakes in the freezer section of many Asian groceries, but if not, then use small tortillas. Or omit pancakes and serve with rice.

1 whole Chinese-style roasted duck

3 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths

12 mandarin or duck pancakes (cooked according to package directions)

¼ cup hoisin sauce

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place duck on a baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes or until most of fat has rendered. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Remove skin in as many large pieces as you can. Chop into squares.

Strip meat from carcass and place on platter. Surround with skin, green onions and pancakes.

Place hoisin in a bowl and let people assemble their own pancake rolls. Serves 6 as an appetizer, 4 as a main course.
