Roast Duck

Beijing's most well-known contribution to the world of gastronomy is its delicious, and incredibly moreish, Beijing Duck.

After being marinaded in a mysterious deep-red sauce, ducks are roasted directly over flames stoked by fruit-tree wood until crisp, then sliced thinly and served with small pancakes with a black bean sauce, cucumber and spring onion.

The QuanJuDe and BianYiFang dishes among the most popular variations, each using a different method of preparation, spices and sauces, but both producing wonderful results.

For a good introduction to this delicacy, try any of the QuanJuDe chain restaurants, at Qianmen, Hepingmen or Wangfujing.
