Peking Duck Recipe: A Delectable Chinese Delicacy

Ingredients:

• 1 whole duck (about 5-6 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons grated ginger
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 package of Chinese pancakes

Start by cleaning the duck and removing any excess fat or feathers. Pat it dry and season the inside with Chinese five-spice powder. Roast the duck at 375°F for 1 hour, or until the skin turns crispy and golden brown.

Mix together the honey, soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions to make a glaze. Brush the glaze all over the duck and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy.

Serve the Peking duck with julienned cucumber and Chinese pancakes. To make a pancake, place a pancake on your plate, add a few cucumber strips and a slice of duck, and wrap it up like a burrito. Enjoy the rich and savory flavors of this traditional Chinese dish!
