Pecking Roast Duck

about Peking roast duck!

Peking roast duck is a traditional dish in Chinese cuisine that originated in Beijing, China. It is made from specially bred ducks that are slaughtered and prepared in a specific way to ensure the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.

The ducks are seasoned with a mixture of spices, including star anise, cinnamon, and cloves, and then hung to dry for up to 24 hours. After drying, the ducks are roasted in a special oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Peking roast duck is typically served with thin pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and a sweet bean sauce. To eat it, you spread a little bit of sauce on a pancake, add some duck meat and skin, and top it with scallions and cucumber. Then you roll it up and eat it like a burrito.

In the United States, you can find Peking roast duck in many Chinese restaurants, especially those that specialize in Cantonese or Northern Chinese cuisine. It is usually a more expensive dish, but it is well worth the price for the unique flavor and texture.
