Join me and let's see how to make Peking Duck

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Rinse the duck inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels. Hang the duck by a hook or S-hook in a cool, dry place for several hours or overnight to air-dry.
  • Step 2
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Step 3
  • In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the honey, soy sauce, five-spice powder, Shaoxing wine, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to make a glaze.
  • Step 4
  • Using a ladle, pour the hot glaze over the duck, allowing it to penetrate the skin.
  • Step 5
  • Hang the duck again in a cool, dry place to air-dry for another hour.
  • Step 6
  • Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  • Step 7
  • While the duck is roasting, chop the green onions into 2-inch sections and set aside.
  • Step 8
  • Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, using a sharp knife or cleaver, chop the duck into bite-sized pieces, separating the skin from the meat.
  • Step 9
  • Serve the Peking Duck with Chinese pancakes, hoisin sauce, sliced cucumber, and green onions. To assemble, spread hoisin sauce on a pancake, add duck skin, meat, cucumber, and green onions. Roll it up and enjoy!
  • Step 10
  • Repeat until all the duck is consumed. Serve hot and savor the authentic taste of Peking Duck.
