Get ready to embark on a flavour-packed adventure with a vegan twist on a classic favourite: Peking Duck Pancakes! But wait, there’s no duck here – just pure mushroom goodness that will have your taste buds none the wiser.
Imagine biting into a soft, warm pancake, stuffed with perfectly seasoned and crispy faux duck, crunchy cucumber, and tangy hoisin sauce. Yum, right? Trust me, this vegan version is so scrumptious that even the most dedicated carnivores will be coming back for seconds (or thirds!)
So, grab your aprons, put on your biggest smile, and let’s dive into this deliciously fun recipe. It’s time to whip up some magic in the kitchen and wow your friends and family with these irresistible Vegan Peking Duck Pancakes!
If I don’t like mushrooms can I switch this for something else?
If you don’t like mushrooms, don’t worry – this is actually ME TOO! But, I promise all you mushroom haters out there, you won’t be able to tell this is actually mushroom! The chewy and crispy profile of these oyster mushrooms are not your typical slimy button mushroom (sorry mushroom lovers). However, if you’re still not convinced then you could use a vegan duck aka seitan. This what I would typically use in mine, which give that chewy texture you might be after.

1 tsp Chinese 5 Spice
1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce

Directions
- Start by shredding up your oyster mushrooms into a bowl. Add in Chinese 5 spice, corn flour and Celtic sea salt. Mix.
- Heat enough oil in a fry pan and then pop in the mushrooms, frying until semi crispy. Usually only a few minutes on medium heat.
- Once cooked, take out and place back into bowl. Add in hoisin sauce and mix well. In the meantime, thinly slice cucumber and green onions. Place aside.
- Carefully seperate each pancake and either steam for 30 seconds or microwave for 15 seconds for an easy option.
