Peking Duck: An Unparalleled Delight

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Carefully drying the duck skin with paper towels is essential to ensure moisture loss and crispiness. - The honey marinade with rice vinegar and soy sauce caramelizes on the surface, creating the typical dark lacquered color. - Increasing the heat to 220°C in the final half hour purges excess subcutaneous fat by crisping the skin.

  • 1 whole duck (approximately 2kg)
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of salt
  • Thin crepes (for serving)
  • Hoisin sauce (to accompany)

Chef Tips

- Regue a ave com o caldo da própria assadeira a cada 30 minutos para manter a umidade uniforme da carne interna. - Coloque uma grade sobre a assadeira para que o pato não asse mergulhado na gordura derretida no fundo. - Deixe o pato repousar por 15 minutos antes de fatiar para redistribuir os sucos entre as fibras musculares.

Variations

- Laqueação com cinco especiarias: adicione uma colher de café de pó de cinco especiarias chinesas na marinada. - Versão com raspas de laranja: junte raspas de laranja-da-baía à mistura de mel para toque cítrico aromático. - Crepes de arroz: sirva a carne fatiada enrolada em folhas finas de papel de arroz hidratadas.

Substitutions

- O pato inteiro pode ser preparado utilizando quatro coxas e sobrecoxas de pato com pele mantendo o tempo. - O mel da laqueação pode ser substituído por glicose de milho, melaço de cana ou xarope de bordo puro. - O vinagre de arroz pode ser trocado por vinagre de maçã suave na mesma proporção de uma colher de sopa.

How to Store

Separate the shredded meat from the carcass and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the slices in a medium oven at 180°C for 8 minutes to restore the temperature without drying out the meat.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze only the shredded meat without skin in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Do not freeze the skin with the meat, as the crispy lacquered texture is permanently lost after defrosting.

What to Serve With

Serve accompanied by steamed Chinese crepes, thin strips of fresh chives, Japanese cucumber, and hoisin sauce. Harmonizes very well with glasses of Pinot Noir red wine or dry Gewürztraminer white wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does duck skin need to be thoroughly dry before roasting?

Residual moisture cooks the skin in steam, preventing the caramelization of the honey and making the texture rubbery instead of crispy.

How to serve in the traditional style with the crepes?

Open a warm thin crepe, spread hoisin sauce, place strips of crispy skin, meat shavings, and scallions, rolling it like a cigar.

Can I make this recipe with a whole chicken?

Yes, use a whole free-range chicken of about 2 kg, reducing the total oven time to about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

What is the 15-minute rest after coming out of the oven for?

The rest makes the fibers relax and retain the intramuscular fat, preventing the juices from running out when cutting the slices.
