But I said it doesn't taste like duck nor was I trying to make it taste like duck. I definitely did not say it has a meaty texture. Mine came out more savory than sweet, seems like that would be because of the seasonings used. For a meatier texture, I think seitan would probably work better, something with more of a bite to it - jackfruit to me is very light. I would love to hear if you found something that was like duck dim sum. :-) Sorry to hear that it didn’t come out to your liking.

I was hoping it would taste like duck dim sum buns or something like that...but it didn't. It had no bite to it, it didn't have the meaty texture that was described. It tasted like really bad sweet and sour pork you find at the Chinese buffet that's been left out for a day or two. Maybe it was the kind of jackfruit I used? The asian food mart in my area didn't have the frozen kind so I made the buns homemade. Time consuming but worth it. I think next time I'll make it with something a little more savory in flavor...mushrooms? Disappointed...but willing to try again with the right medium.
