Peking Duck 2

Friday, February 4th, 2005
Recipe : Peking Duck 2
Procedure :

1 x SEE :P EKING DUCK 1″ FOR INGR

6. Combine the sherry, sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce, and Hoisin

Sauce. 7. To assemble, place duck slices on pancakes. Add scallions,

cucumbers, and Hoisin Sauce mixture to each. Serve. We insist on using Long Island ducks for this, our specialty. When we carve the duck in front of our guests, they may request skin only (the traditional way of eating Peking Duck), skin with meat, or meat from a certain part of the duck. The air separates the skin from the meat; the marinade and the hanging help to a create a deliciously rich, crisp skin.
