Looks simple.
Duck has more fat than chicken or turkey, which is why it has more flavor. But it’s healthier than beef and other red meats.

Got it.

That makes sense.
After about two hours, when the duck is fully cooked, use your hands or two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Definitely my hands.
Add the shredded duck to a medium sized pot and stir in hoisin sauce over low heat until it is warmed and thickly covered in sauce.

Mmmmm hoisin sauce.
Serve immediately with pancakes or steamed bao or over rice. Leftover pulled duck can be frozen for three to six months.
