Answer 1

Well I have to say that I LOVE Peking duck. I am half greek and half a whole bunch of other stuff, my BF is  half Chinese and half Vietnamese and we both love it. It should be illegal for food to be that good. My BF and I go to the local Asian markets and PIG OUT on this stuff. I know that the recipe is VERY VERY difficult to make because it is a several day process where you have to keep a constant eye out to be sure that the braising liquid is being distributed evenly. Also they fill them full of air pushed out of a special air pump, it's pretty intense and truly an art to make this delectable treat. Then of course it hangs and hangs in a special drying oven thingy where they are continuously pouring all different kinds of sauces on it. So I would recommend just going and buying it. My BF mom is Chinese and I have never even seen her make it in the 5 years we have been together and she makes everything!!! Good Luck and Happy Feasting!!!

*Edit* I was just talking to my BF and he says " I can't believe you forgot to mention "Banh Bao" ( thats what it's called in Vietnamese) it's a little white bun that you put the duck inside with hoisin, they are so fabulous i could eat them everyday for the rest of my life!! They are my favorite!

Answer 3

Answer 4

I'm Dutch but I think Beijing/Peking duck is delicious when served authentically. That said though I'm not a big fan of Northern Chinese cuisine as the same sauces and spices are served in everything. Ie, every Northern Chinese dish seems to have basically the same flavour as Peking Duck sauce has.

Authentic Sichuan food however, such as crispy chicken pieces in dried chilli; now there is food to die for. It is the best food in the world.

Answer 5

I like it too... It tastes so good. mmmm

Answer 6

I love Chinese food in general, the only thing that I can't eat for unknown reasons is those yellow noodles.

Answer 7

2  tablespoons maltose or honey  

2  tablespoons dry sherry  

1  tablespoon white vinegar  

3  tablespoons cornstarch  

10  scallions  

1/2  cup hoisin sauce  

2  teaspoons sesame oil  

Chinese pancakes  

Cut off duck wings at second joint, remove excess fat and skin, rinse and dry well.

Insert chopstick thru neck opening and force along the wing bone under the skin until it protrudes slightly at the second joint.

Push other end along other wing so that you end up with a duck that has its arms straight out like a crucifix.

Tie a string on to the middle so you can hold the duck and hang it up.

Bring 6 cups of water to boil in a wok.

Add maltose or honey and stir to dissolve.

Add sherry and vinegar.

Make a slurry out of the cornstarch and add to wok.

When liquid returns to a boil, dip the duck into liquid and spoon liquid over duck.

Repeat until duck is thoroughly moistened.

Repeat dunking once more.

Hang duck by string in a cool airy place with a bowl underneath to catch drips.

Leave for 4-6 hours until skin is dry and taught.

Put roasting pan on lower oven rack and fill with 2-3 inches of water.

Oil rack above pan.

Preheat oven to 350.

Remove chopstick and string.

Put duck on oiled rack in center of oven breast side up.

Cook 30 minutes.

Turn duck breast down for 45 minutes.

Turn breast up for 30 minutes or until skin is dark brown.

While duck is cooking make scallion brushes.

Trim roots,cut off most of green part, leaving a 3 inch piece.

Make several 1 inch lengthwise slits in each end of scallion, put in ice water for 20 minutes, drain and refrigerate.

Carve duck and separate meat and skin.

Mix hoisin with sesame oil and 1 tbl water.

To serve: use scallion brushes to wipe hoisin mixture on to pancakes, add duck skin and meat and scallion, fold one end over and roll up.
