Peking Duck is the definitive culinary achievement of the Beijing kitchen, refined over centuries of imperial service. The process involves air-drying the duck, glazing it with maltose syrup, and roasting it until the skin is mahogany. It is traditionally served in three stages: the crisp skin, the tender breast meat, and the remaining frame. Diners wrap the slices in delicate wheat pancakes with sweet bean sauce and fresh julienned vegetables. This dish represents the pinnacle of technique-driven Chinese cuisine and remains a mandatory ritual for every visitor.
