[Daemon09]

Hi there, do you love Chinese food? I want to share a Peking Duck & Dim Sum recipe that was thought to me by my Chinese friends. So here it goes

Peking Duck Recipe​

Ingredients:​

• 1 whole duck (around 5-6 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons maltose or honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• Salt (for seasoning)
• Thin pancakes (to serve)

Instructions:​

1. Preparation:
   • Clean and pat dry the duck. Remove excess fat from the cavity.
   • Use a pump or syringe to pump air between the skin and the flesh to separate them.
   • Hang the duck to dry for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator, uncovered.
2. Roasting:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Mix maltose (or honey), soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, and rice vinegar in a bowl.
   • Brush the duck with this mixture inside and out. Season with salt.
   • Roast the duck for about 2 hours, turning and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes until the skin is crispy and brown.
3. Serving:
   • Let the duck rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
   • Serve with thin pancakes, sliced cucumbers, scallions, and hoisin sauce.

2. Assembly:
   • Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of filling in the center.
   • Gather up the sides of the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open.
   • Press the edges together to seal and gently flatten the bottom to create a flat base.
