KUNG FU KITCHEN

PEKING DUCK (BEIJING, CHNIA). Peking duck is a famous duck dish from Beijing that is considered one of China's national treasure. The dish is prized for the thin, crispy skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. Years of training are needed to perfect the various steps needed including the gutting of the duck right up to the carving of the duck into 120 slices under 10 mins.
