Peking Duck

Peking Duck (北京烤鸭) is China's most internationally famous dish and eating it in Beijing, where it originated in the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, is a fundamentally different experience from anywhere else. The duck is air-dried, seasoned, and roasted in a wood-fired oven until the skin is lacquered and crisp. It is served carved tableside, the slices of skin and meat wrapped in thin pancakes with spring onions, cucumber, and sweet bean sauce.
