How to eat Peking duck

Every region in our country has roast duck with different flavors, but the most famous one is the Beijing roast duck in our capital. It is expensive but uniquely made and is indeed a delicacy. But as people from all over the world love roast duck, the price of roast duck has also been rising. The various condiments for roast duck include onions, cucumbers and sauces, but some people don’t like to eat these things. So how can we eat Peking duck properly? In addition to adding sauce, you can also eat it with some sugar, which tastes good too.

There are three types:

The first

Use chopsticks to pick up some sweet noodle sauce, spread it on the lotus leaf pancake, cover it with a few slices of roast duck, put a few scallion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, and roll up the lotus leaf pancake. This is the most common way to eat it.

The second

Add mashed garlic and soy sauce, and can also be served with radish strips, etc. Mashed garlic can remove greasiness. Dipping the sliced ​​roast duck in mashed garlic and soy sauce will add a hint of spiciness to the freshness and fragrance, making the flavor more unique.

The third

Some customers don't like eating onions and garlic, but like to eat the crispy duck skin dipped in finely chopped white sugar. This way of eating is especially suitable for women and children.

Peking duck is bright red in color, tender in texture, mellow in flavor, fat but not greasy. However, it is not recommended to eat roast duck directly, because the duck is fat, and eating it directly will cause oil to splatter, which is extremely unsightly.

The most common and traditional way to eat it is to use a sharp knife to cut the roast duck into thin slices and wrap them in baked lotus leaf pancakes. The lotus leaf cake evolved from the "white cake" during the Qin and Han Dynasties and has a history of more than 2,000 years.

First, place the scallion segments, radish strips and other side dishes neatly on the lotus leaf pancake.

Vegetables must be fresh, crisp and tender to taste good

Then put a few slices of roast duck on top.

Apply a layer of sweet noodle sauce

Sweet noodle sauce is sweet and salty, with both soy sauce and ester aroma, which can arouse the desire of taste buds

Then roll up the lotus leaf cake into a roll shape.

The last step is to put it into your mouth, chew it slowly, and let the aroma and delicious taste slowly melt on your tongue

There is also a way of eating it that is said to have been started by the ladies in the mansions. They hate bad breath and won't eat onions or garlic, so they eat the duck skin dipped in sugar. It is crispy, fragrant, sweet and better than anything else in the world.

Another way to eat it is to dip the sliced ​​roast duck in mashed garlic and soy sauce and eat it directly. It is fresh and fragrant with a hint of spiciness, and your taste buds will bloom one after another, just like thousands of pear trees in bloom, which is beautiful beyond words.
