Crispy duck pancakes are one of our favourite dishes in chinese restaurants in the UK, but not many of us would dare to make them at home. We've come up with a recipe for peking duck that we think is just as good, if not better, than the takeaway! Don't believe us? Then try this recipe for yourself and let us know how you get on!
