As a representative of Chinese cuisine, Beijing Roast Duck has gained popularity among foreigners. It became a main dish on the imperial court menu as early as the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911) and was many emperor’s favorite, winning it a title of the number one food in the world. The ducks used to prepare Beijing Roast Duck is of the highest quality. Its meat is fatty but not greasy, most ideal for cooking roast duck. The roasting methods are specially worked out and have higher demands on chefs’ skills: When the duck is ready, you must first heat the oven with hardwood from fruit trees. When the fire is up, you have to keep it restrained. Then you hang the duck inside the oven until it turns shiny brown. The roast duck would have a thin crisp skin and tender meat, a delicious treat for your appetite.
