National Peking Duck Day

Peking duck is a famous dish from Beijing, China that is known for its crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. It is often considered one of China's national dishes and is enjoyed around the world. The dish is traditionally made by roasting a whole duck until the skin is crispy and golden brown. The duck is typically seasoned with a mixture of spices and then air-dried for several hours to help create a crispy skin. The duck is then roasted in a special oven until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and flavorful. When served, the duck is typically sliced into thin pieces and served with thin pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and a sweet bean sauce. Diners typically assemble the pancakes by spreading a bit of the sauce on the pancake, adding a few slices of duck, some scallions and cucumber, and then rolling the pancake up like a burrito.
