Have you ever asked: Why can roast duck only be sliced ??and eaten with lotus leaf pancakes, but not eaten directly? This is because ducks are different from chickens. First of all, because duck is fatter, it will feel very greasy if you eat it directly. Secondly, roast duck is different from roast chicken and braised chicken. It does not add any seasoning and is neither salty nor bland. It must be eaten with seasoning. So, what’s the point of eating roast duck? First of all, now is the season for eating roast duck. To really eat roast duck, you should pay attention to spring, summer, autumn and winter. In winter and spring, duck meat is fresh and tender; in autumn, the weather is high and the air is clear, making it the most suitable place for roast duck regardless of temperature or humidity. Ducks in autumn are also fatter, as evidenced by the saying that ducks in autumn are fatter and chickens in cages are fatter.

Only in summer, when the weather is hot, people don’t like greasy food. Second, Peking ducks are afraid of heat and need to lose weight every summer. Third, the air humidity is high, and duck carcasses are often moist. When roasted like this, the duck skin will swell easily (not crispy). Secondly, the size of the duck. The choice of duck is very important. The breeding period of the ducks purchased by Jude cannot exceed 90 days. The feathers should be shiny, white and flawless, with short wings and long back, thick and short legs, plump chest and fat body. Ducks weigh 5.5 to 6 pounds. If the duck is too small, it will be used as meat and firewood; if it is too big, it will be very greasy. Slaughter the duck, remove the blood, leg hair, internal organs, wings and claws. After sugar coloring and air-drying, the duck blank is made, weighing about 3 to 4 pounds.

Roast ducks are about 2 pounds, 4 pieces, and require 80 to 80 100 pieces. The meat under a piece of roast duck is about 1 kilogram and 2 taels. The third is film law. The technique for making roast duck is half-roasted and half-cut. Eat the roasted duck immediately after it is roasted, or slice it into pieces before the duck breasts are sunken and place them neatly on the plate. When you eat it in your mouth at this time, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, which is the most delicious.

There are two ways to slice duck: one is to slice the duck skin while it is hot. Crispy, crispy and fragrant, then slice the duck. The other is a piece of meat, skinned, as thin as a clove leaf, but not broken into pieces. They are eaten wrapped in lotus leaf pancakes. They are crispy, fragrant and fresh. After the duck fillets are put on the plate, the chef will break off the duck head, cut it in half with a knife, and cut the two small pieces of duck tail meat into small pieces symmetrically and put them on a small plate. At the same time, two pieces of duck tenderloin are placed horizontally on the duck head and served at the same time as the duck meat slices, indicating that the duck ordered by the customer has been served, both head and tail. The duck head can be dipped in pepper and salt, and some customers even like to eat it this way. Of course, the duck tail is nothing to eat and is just for display.

The two pieces of duck fillet on this table are reserved for distinguished guests or elderly guests. The fourth is seasoning.

There are three ingredients to eat roast duck; the first is onion strips and sweet noodle sauce, which can be paired with cucumber strips, radish strips, etc. The second is minced garlic with soy sauce, or radish strips. Garlic paste can relieve greasy food. Dip the sliced ??roast duck slices in minced garlic and soy sauce, which adds a hint of spiciness and makes the taste even more unique. Many customers particularly like this condiment. The third type is white sugar. Some customers refuse to eat onions or garlic, but they enjoy the crispy duck skin dipped in a thin layer of white sugar. This way of eating is especially suitable for women and children. Of course, the most common ingredient for eating roast duck is still the first one, which is sweet noodle sauce and scallions.

Use chopsticks to pick up some sweet noodle sauce, place it on the lotus leaf cake, add some roast duck slices to cover it, then add some onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, and roll up the lotus leaf cake. Really delicious. Finally, the staple food. The staple food of roast duck is lotus leaf cake. There is such a record in the Qing Dynasty's "Shuntian Fuzhi": Roast duck is eaten with a piece of cake. This kind of cake is lotus leaf cake. In addition to lotus leaf cakes, there are also hollow sesame cakes.

Dip the roast duck in the sweet noodle sauce, stuff it into the hollow sesame pancake with scallions, and you’re ready to eat. It tastes great. The Steamed Dumpling House, located at No. 36 Qianmen Street, was founded in the third year of Qianlong's reign (1738) and has a history of 250 years. This is one of Beijing's famous century-old stores. On the New Year's Eve of the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong returned to Beijing from Tongzhou in disguise and passed through Qianmen. At that time, all the shops were closed, and only the Wangji Hotel had lights on, so he walked into the store to have dinner. Due to the attentive reception, rich wine aroma, and delicious dishes, he became interested in this store, chatted with the owner, and asked about the name of the hotel. The shop owner replied: The shop has no name.

After hearing this, Long said: At this time, you are the only one who will open the door in Beijing. After returning to the palace, he wrote down the name of the store in his own hand and engraved it on a plaque. A few days later, someone from the harem sent this tiger tablet. Since then, the only place has replaced Wangji Restaurant, and business has been booming since then. With the passage of time and historical changes, the only place has undergone many renovations. The new building expanded in 1964 has two floors and a business area of ??170 square meters. In the autumn of the same year, Guo Moruo went to the store to see the tiger head plaque presented by the Qianlong royal family, and later inscribed the only plaque on it. Uniquely famous since Emperor Qianlong gave it a plaque, the Beijing snack steamed dumplings are famous not only in Beijing, but also throughout the country. Rumor has it that the pastry chef of this shop has visited Japan many times to perform art performances, and is very popular among Japanese friends.
