What is peking duck?
Peking duck
Roast duck with lacquered, crackly skin, carved at the table and wrapped in thin pancakes with scallions, cucumber and hoisin.
What it tastes like
Shatteringly crisp skin and rich, juicy meat, balanced by sweet hoisin and fresh, crunchy vegetables.
Where you’ll see it
Chinese banquet restaurants, often ordered ahead, with the rest of the duck sometimes served as a second course.
