Fusion Roast Duck with Sweet Mango Sauce

For your family and loved ones. Hearty and delicious roast duck with sweet mango sauce. The epitome of any Chinese feast is one with a roast duck served in the middle of the dining table. This Fusion Roast Duck with Sweet Mango Sauce recipe is inspired from these dishes: (1) traditional roast duck, (2) Peking duck wrapped in a crepe and (3) Italian’s seared duck with red wine sauce. We've kept this recipe children-friendly and replaced the red wine with sweet mango sauce and Ribena Cordial.  A perfect combination to surprise the taste buds of your guests and sure to be a big hit this CNY!

“This creation was inspired by a dish I had in Italy - Seared duck with Red Wine Sauce!” - Anne Leong

This DIY dish will interest your guest and the good thing is, it is not messy at all. This tart-sweet-savoury Ribena mango sauce best accompanied with fragrant egg crepe. On the first bite, you would experience the tropical fruity sweetness from the sauce. Next, the delicious and flavourful aroma of the duck comes in.  The duck bursting with flavours from the skin to the succulent meat. You'll want to finish it all.

A dish that both adult and child will like because of the fruity sauce – a blend of Ribena and Mango and the fragrance of the egg crepe and as well as the traditional roast duck. Home cook, Anne Leong recommends to try cooking this dish as it is easy to make despite the busy cooking schedule during CNY. Like every home cook, she would be cooking 8 dishes to serve 10 people and time planning is very important. So here’s why this dish is a perfect addition to your menu:

• Pre-prepare the duck the day before, and on the 2nd day, you can simply pop into the oven and let it cook on its own while using the remaining time to cook other dishes.
• Best of all this dish does not need to be served immediately! It still tastes as delicious when served at room temperature.
