Crispy duck with hoisin sauce and pancakes is one of my absolute all time favorite meals in the whole whole world. The crispy shard like skin, the tasty morsels of duck and the sweet sticky taste of the hoisin, all wrapped up with cucumbers and spring onions in a wafer thin pancake . Nothing could be better, but I have yet to ever eat it here in Korea. I’ve had it on visits to China of course, and I can’t wait to go to the crispy duck capital of the world this Christmas but I couldn’t wait until then for my next fix. About a week or two ago I found out that hoisin sauce is available here in Korea and it’s been hiding in plain sight in dear old Homeplus. How many times have I brought jars back from home only to have them disappear from my life in mere days, when there was ample stock here in the peninsula. I could kick myself indeed. For future reference, this is what the jar looks like, so go forth and stock your cupboard full of the Chinese saucy goodness.
