Home-style recipes for Beijing roast duck
Last modify: 2023/10/8
Ingredients：
1 duck, 3 slices of ginger, 15 peppercorns, 2 star anise, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, crispy water, 10 grams of honey, 5 grams of white vinegar, 1 apple
Preparation:
1 .Thaw the duck, rinse it with clean water, add shredded ginger, garlic slices, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns, then pour in dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, spread evenly, massage for 5 minutes, put it in a fresh-keeping bag, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Take out the marinated duck meat and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. Mix honey and white vinegar evenly into crispy water.
3. Stuff an apple cube into the duck's belly, bake in a preheated 375F oven for 40 minutes, turn over and bake for 40-50 minutes (the time depends on the size of the duck). If you want the duck to look better, you can do it halfway. Brush the duck with some honey water.
Crust:
1. Pour hot water (1/2 cup) into flour (2 cups) and mix well with chopsticks, then add cold water (about two or three spoons less than 1/2) and knead into a soft dough, let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Knead the dough into a long strip, then cut it into small pieces and roll it into a pie shape. Put the two pie crusts together. Add some duck fat and sugar to the sweet noodle sauce in the baking pan and steam it in a steamer for 5 minutes. Just slice the duck.
