Beijing roast duck has become a world-famous American food. Gourmets in past dynasties ate Beijing roast duck, and they were very particular about it. It seems that if they don't eat like this, they won't show 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 it is best to eat roast duck in winter, spring and autumn. The reason is that Beijing ducks in winter and spring are fresh and tender; Autumn is crisp, the temperature and humidity are especially suitable for roast duck, and the ducks at this time are also relatively fat. The summer climate is hot and the air humidity is high. At this time, Beijing duck meat is thin and thin, and its quality is poor. The skin of roast duck roots easily (that is, it is not brittle), so it tastes bad.

(2) Pay attention to the slicing method:

Because slicing is good, not only the shape of the dish is better, but also the taste is more beautiful. After the roast duck is roasted, cut off the skin and put it on a plate before the duck breast collapses. Duck meat at this time is crisp and delicious in your mouth. The practice of duck slices is also very particular. Slice the duck skin while it's hot. It's crispy and delicious. Then eat a piece of duck. Second, there is a piece with meat, which is thin but not broken. A duck weighing 2 kg can cut more than 100 slices of duck meat, with uniform size, such as the taste of clove leaves, crisp, fragrant and smooth, and unique flavor.

(3) Pay attention to seasoning:

Why can't roast duck be eaten directly? This is because ducks are fat, so eating them directly will be very greasy. At present, there are three main ways to eat Beijing roast duck, and the ingredients are different. The first one: pick a little sweet noodle sauce with chopsticks, put it on the lotus leaf cake, put some roast duck slices, 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 kind: garlic sauce, or radish strips. Garlic paste can relieve greasy taste. Dip the sliced roast duck into garlic paste and soy sauce, which adds a touch of spicy taste and makes the flavor more unique. Third: Some customers don't like onions and garlic, but they like crispy duck 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 with onions, garlic and cucumber strips. , not only can balance acid and alkali, but also vitamin C and dietary fiber in these foods can lower cholesterol, increase fibrinolytic activity and help digestion. The first seasoning method is the most commonly used at present, and the sweet noodle sauce used in it is produced by Beijing "Liubiju", otherwise the taste will not be regarded as authentic.

(4) Pay attention to diet:

There are two kinds of 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, coat each piece with sweet noodle sauce, then add onion, cucumber strips, (or green radish strips) and roast duck slices, or coat 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 and red beans all the year round. This kind of millet porridge is bright in color, smooth and refreshing. Drinking a small bowl of this special millet porridge after eating roast duck will definitely bring you great comfort.
