Peking roast duck
One is the theory of Hangzhou, also known as the theory of Yuan Dynasty.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many restaurants in Lin 'an, and the catering industry was developed. Zhejiang is a famous water town, producing good ducks. Roasted with fire, it becomes roast duck. At that time, it was a famous restaurant in Lin 'an. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, Lin 'an was destroyed, and Yuan soldiers arrested hundreds of workers in Lin 'an, including kitchen workers. As a result, the roast duck settled in Beijing, and after several generations of improvement and development, it became today's Beijing roast duck.
Second, Nanjing theory, also known as Ming theory.
Nanjing, the capital of Zhu Ming, is rich in lake ducks, so the Royal Kitchen carefully studies duck dishes, including salted duck, crispy duck, preserved duck, roast duck and sesame oil duck. In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zu moved the capital to Beijing and brought the roast duck to Beijing. Introduced from the palace to the people, it became a famous dish in Beijing.
Third, Beijing said.
More than 800 years ago, the Jin Dynasty established Beijing as its capital. At that time, the forest in Yan Di was green, surrounded by gullies, and there were white ducks with thick meat and tender meat. Jurchen is good at hunting. After hunting, she cooks and bakes her hair. Later, the court chef added the roasting procedure to refine its flavor and became the original roast duck. After several generations of domestication, the white duck has evolved into the present Beijing stuffed duck. After Beijing chefs improved their baking methods, they formed a set of fixed techniques, which were well-known in the previous generation. Beijing roast duck is really an authentic Beijing dish.
Fourth, Xi 'an said.
Zhang Wei, "What is the ruling and opposition? Volume II quotes from Taiping Guangji. As early as after Wu Zetian established the Zhou regime (AD 69O), when Wu Zetian's minion was in charge of the crane, he fought for power and profit with his brother. Zhang Yizhi put geese and ducks in a big iron cage. Charcoal was lit in the cage, and five flavors of juice were filled in the copper basin. Goose and duck walk around the fire and drink five-flavor juice when they are thirsty. The fire kept them walking back and forth, gradually losing their feathers and being roasted to death. Their meat was tender and delicious. Accordingly, as early as 1300 years ago, Tang Dou Chang 'an already had the original roast duck.
Fifth, Kaifeng said.
People all know that Kaifeng is the birthplace of authentic Henan cuisine, with many famous dishes and traditional snacks at home and abroad. But they don't know that Bianjing Roast Duck is the "originator" of China Roast Duck, which is a thousand-year-old famous product with a long history.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, roast chicken and roast duck were the famous dishes in Bianjing store, which was recorded in Dream of Tokyo. After nomads invaded Bianjing City, a large number of artisans, entertainers and businessmen in Bianjing fled to Jiankang (Nanjing) and Lin 'an (Hangzhou) with Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and roast duck became a delicacy for folk and official families in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wang Li, a famous chef and roast duck expert, was recorded in Hong Shou by Yi Jian Zhi Ding, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. When the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, Bo Yan, the general of the Yuan Dynasty, brought the exquisite craftsmanship of Lin 'an to Dadu (now Beijing). In this way, Bianjing's roast duck technology spread to Beijing today.
