It's said that Beijing Roast Duck is a world-famous American food. Gourmets in past dynasties ate Beijing Roast Duck and ate a lot of exquisite food. It seems that if they don't eat it this way, they can't reflect the authentic flavor. To sum up, there are four main points:
(1) Pay attention to the season:
Roast duck must be eaten in the right season, and bad season will affect the taste. Taste advocates that eating roast duck in winter, spring and autumn is the best. The reason is that Beijing ducks in winter and spring are tender and tender; The weather is crisp in autumn, and the temperature and humidity are particularly suitable for making roast duck, and the ducks at this time are also relatively fat. In summer, the climate is hot and the air humidity is high. At this time, Beijing duck meat is thin and thin, and the quality is poor. The roasted duck skin is prone to root (that is, it is not crisp), so the taste is relatively poor.
(2) Pay attention to the slice method:
Because the slice is good, not only the shape of the dishes is better, but also the taste is more beautiful. After the roast duck is roasted, it is necessary to slice off the skin and put it on a plate for food before the duck breast collapses. At this time, the duck meat tastes crisp and delicious in the mouth. The method of sliced duck is also exquisite. First, slice the duck skin before it is hot, which is crispy and delicious. Then eat a slice of duck. Second, there are pieces of belt meat, which are thin and not broken. A duck weighing 2 kg can slice more than 111 pieces of duck meat, and the size is even, such as clove leaves, which are crisp, fragrant, tender and unique.
(3) Pay attention to seasoning:
Why can't the roast duck be eaten directly? This is because ducks are fat, and eating them directly will be very greasy. At present, there are three main ways to eat Beijing roast duck, with different ingredients. The first kind: use chopsticks to pick a little sweet noodle sauce, put it on the lotus leaf cake, put some roast duck slices on it, put some onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, and roll up the lotus leaf cake. This is the most common way to eat. The second type: garlic paste with soy sauce, or radish strips. Garlic paste can relieve greasy taste. Dip the sliced roast duck in garlic paste and soy sauce to eat, which adds a touch of spicy taste and a more unique flavor. The third kind: Some customers don't like to eat onions and garlic, but they like to eat crispy duck skin dipped in fine sugar. This way of eating is especially suitable for ladies and children. It is understood that eating roast duck is also nutritious. According to professionals, roast duck is often eaten together with scallion, garlic, cucumber strips, etc., which not only can balance acid and alkali, but also vitamin C and dietary fiber in these foods can reduce cholesterol, increase fibrous protein dissolving activity and help digestion. The first seasoning method is now the most commonly used, in which the sweet noodle sauce used is produced by Beijing "Liubiju", otherwise the taste will not be regarded as authentic.
(4) Pay attention to accompanying food:
There are two kinds of accompanying food commonly used to eat roast duck, one is lotus leaf cake; One is hollow sesame seed cake. You can peel off two pieces of lotus leaf cake, spread sweet noodle sauce on each piece, then add onion, cucumber strips, (or green radish strips) and roast duck slices, or spread garlic paste, soy sauce, cucumber strips (or green radish strips), and then clip the roast duck slices and roll them up to eat. In the early years, Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant also prepared a kind of millet porridge cooked with barley rice and red beans all the year round. This kind of millet porridge is beautiful in color, smooth and refreshing. Drinking a small bowl of this special millet porridge after eating roast duck will definitely bring you a great sense of comfort.
