1. Beijing: Kaoya (Peking roast duck, 烤鸭)
北京:烤鸭
The cuisine: Generations of emperors and blue-blooded residents have set the standard for high-end Chinese cuisine. The city is famous for imperial cuisine, or guan cai (官菜), which uses only premium quality ingredients and is cooked with complex techniques.
烹饪风格:历代皇帝和贵族早已为高端的中式烹饪设定了标准。北京这座城市因其皇家菜肴或是官菜闻名遐迩,这种菜肴仅选用上等食材佐料,并运用复杂的技巧烹饪而成。
The dish: A perfect kaoya is roasted to a reddish color; its skin remains crispy and the meat oozesa fruity flavor.
菜肴:最棒的烤鸭烤至淡红色,表皮酥脆,鸭肉口感圆润。
A whole roasted duck is typically served in two ways: the juicy meat and crispy skin are wrapped in mandarin pancakes with scallion, cucumber and hoisin sauce; and the bones are slow-cooked into a tasty soup.
一整只烤鸭有两种特色吃法:拿薄饼卷着肥美的鸭肉和酥脆的鸭皮,再搭配些青葱丝,黄瓜丝和海鲜酱;鸭骨架经慢火炖成美味的汤。
