Ingredients
-
1 duck
-
2 tablespoons of honey
-
Hoisin sauce
Directions
There are few places outside of China where you can taste real Peking duck: it takes about 48 hours to cook, so you have to order in advance. There are restaurants in Beijing that specialize only in Peking duck and serve it for a three-course lunch: duck with pancakes, duck stir-fry with vegetables, and duck carcass soup to complete the meal.
The chef recommends:
• Chop and stir-fry the remaining duck with vegetables.
• Boil the duck carcass in a deep pan, you will get a delicious broth for soup.
To serve:
• Hoisin sauce (a mixture of yellow bean paste with sugar of a rich dark mahogany color)
• 5 green onion feathers, cut into thin strips 5 cm long
• ½ cucumber, peel and cut into thin strips 5 cm long
• 24 mandarin pancakes.
