Serving Peking duck

is one of the most famous Chinese delicacies and is considered a culinary highlight. What makes this duck unique is that the skin and meat are served separately. The skin of the duck is the real star of the dish and is traditionally served in thin pancakes.

Carving the Duck

Peking Duck is usually served freshly carved to ensure the best quality. The crispy skin is rolled up in thin pancakes with spring onion strips, cucumber strips, and Hoisin sauce. Some restaurants also offer plum sauce as a condiment, but we recommend our homemade Hoisin sauce.

The Peking Duck Wrap

The combination of crispy duck skin, soft pancakes, and refreshing cucumber and spring onion strips creates a taste sensation that is unparalleled. The slightly sweet taste of the Hoisin sauce complements the dish perfectly.

Hands-On

When eating Peking Duck, it is recommended to wrap the skin with the condiments in the pancakes and eat with your hands. This not only makes it more fun but also a very social experience. It is therefore common to order the duck in larger groups and enjoy it together.

Serving Peking duck

The Peking Duck is not only known for its unique taste but also for its artful preparation. Grilling the duck requires time, patience, and expertise. The duck skin is initially brushed with a vinegar-sugar mixture to make it crispy and flavorful. The duck is then grilled in a special oven that maintains a constant temperature and ensures that the meat remains juicy and tender.

The Peking Duck has a long tradition and is considered one of the best Chinese delicacies. If you have never had the opportunity to try Peking Duck, you should definitely give it a try. Visit an authentic Chinese restaurant and let this culinary highlight enchant you.
