Peking Duck Pizza with Hoisin and Scallions

Peking Duck, the crown jewel of the Imperial Chinese court, is legendary for its crispy, lacquered skin and succulent meat. This pizza deconstructs the classic tableside service (pancakes, hoisin, cucumber, scallion) and reimagines it on a crispy crust. The interplay between the sweet-savory hoisin base, the rich duck, and the cool crunch of fresh cucumber makes this an unforgettable fusion dinner.

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Thinly slice the scallions into rounds and cut the cucumber into matchstick-thin strips (julienne).

Tip: Keep the cucumber raw and add it at the very end to maintain its signature crunch.
2

Roll out the pizza dough and place it on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil, then spread the hoisin sauce over the base.

Tip: Hoisin has a high sugar content and can burn easily, so leave a slightly wider crust than usual.
3

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then distribute the shredded duck meat evenly (skin side up if possible).

Tip: Facing the skin upwards allows the hot air to crisp it up again, while the rendering fat bastes the meat.
4

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Tip: Keep an eye on the sauce; if it starts to darken too much, pull it out.
5

Remove from the oven. Immediately top with the fresh cucumber strips, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Tip: The contrast between the hot, rich duck and the cold, crisp cucumber is what gives this dish its freshness.
