Peking duck

Peking duck is a famous Chinese dish renowned for its crispy skin and tender meat. The duck is traditionally prepared by inflating the skin to achieve crispiness and glazing it with a sweet, smooth coating. It is typically roasted until golden and served sliced, often with thin pancakes, hoisin sauce, and sliced scallions. The process emphasizes the skin's texture, creating a contrast with the juicy meat inside. Peking duck is considered a culinary delicacy, showcasing precise technique and balanced flavors, and is often enjoyed during special occasions or elaborate meals.
