About Peking duck

Peking Duck is a famous Chinese dish originating from Beijing, celebrated for its crispy skin and tender meat. Traditionally, the duck is marinated and roasted, often served with thin pancakes, scallions, cucumbers, and a sweet bean or hoisin sauce. This dish is rich in flavor and texture, providing a balance of savory, sweet, and umami tastes. While Peking Duck is high in protein from the duck meat, the skin contains a significant amount of fat, making it energy-dense and less ideal for low-fat diets. Accompaniments like fresh vegetables offer a source of vitamins and fiber, but the sugary sauces can add extra calories. Moderation is key to enjoying Peking Duck as part of a balanced diet. Originating from imperial Chinese cuisine, this dish is not only a cultural icon but also a indulgent treat that pairs well with a variety of side dishes for celebratory meals.
