beijing Peking Duck

Peking Duck is one of the most famous delicacies in Beijing, renowned as "the most delicious food under the sky". High-quality Beijing fattened ducks are carefully selected and then undergo a series of intricate processes, including marinating, blowing air to separate the skin from the meat, tightening the skin with boiling water, brushing with sugar water, and air-drying. After that, the ducks are roasted in a special oven. When cooked, the duck skin turns an inviting dark red color, shining brightly, crispy, and exuding a rich aroma. When eating, spread out the lotus leaf - shaped pancakes as thin as rice paper, place several evenly sliced pieces of duck meat on them, add strips of scallions and cucumbers, and then dip in the sweet bean sauce. With one bite, the crispy duck skin and tender duck meat blend in your mouth, creating a rich and complex taste that is truly unforgettable. This dish is usually served at formal banquets or celebratory events and is a must - have delicacy for entertaining distinguished guests.
