What is Peking duck?
Pekin-dakku is the Japanese pronunciation of Peking duck, which is a dish from Beijing (Peking) that has been prepared since the imperial era. The meat is characterized by its thin, crisp skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. The meat is often eaten with spring onion, cucumber, and sweet bean sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. Sometimes pickled radish is added, and other sauces (like hoisin sauce) can be used.
