Beijing roast duck spread to Europe and America a hundred years ago. To be authentic, we must first understand its origin and delicious places. Now when it comes to Beijing roast duck, everyone knows that it is a very precious snack. He used to cook it with very high-quality duck meat, but it existed about 1000 years ago. It is a very pure white duck, which was accidentally captured by the emperor during the hunting process in Liao and Jin Dynasties. Finally, it was slowly cultivated into a fat white duck.

Beijing roast duck is delicious, but the production process is very complicated, and the exquisite skills are commendable. In the selection process of duck meat, generally choose the kind of duck that is fat and thin, so that the duck meat made is very chewy. Generally, in the process of making Beijing roast duck, there are strict requirements on the weight of the duck. I chose a white duck weighing about four pounds. After the present performance is completed, there are many subsequent steps, which cannot be done without three or four years' performance. The first step is to make an embryo, that is, wash the duck, then cut off its two claws, then peel off the esophagus, peel off the trachea, inflate the stomach and so on. Otherwise, the white duck may get dirty.
In order to make Beijing roast duck very authentic, the process of scalding embryos and hanging sugar is particularly important. First of all, the whole duck leg will be scalded with boiling water, so that his pores will be tightened, so that it is easy to color when hanging sugar. In fact, the most important thing is to test the heat of the master. Only by mastering the heat can the roasted Beijing roast duck reach the point of good color, flavor and taste.
Beijing roast duck is really a veritable snack. If you have the chance to meet in the street, you can try it.
