Beijing-style Roast Duck

Beijing-style Roast Duck, also known as Peking Duck, is a popular Chinese dish that is famous for its crispy skin and flavorful tender meat. The duck is first seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, then air-dried and roasted until the skin turns golden-brown and the meat inside becomes moist and juicy. The dish is usually served with thin pancakes, sliced cucumbers, scallions, and a sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce, allowing diners to wrap the duck and other ingredients together like a burrito. The dish has a long history dating back to the imperial era, and is considered a must-try for anyone visiting Beijing.
