When I was a child, every important festival or Chinese New Year holiday, my family would always host a Shandong roast duck as the centerpiece of the family banquet. That aroma and taste have always been a delicacy that I will never forget. In recent years, with the development of society and the improvement of living standards, Shandong roast duck has not only been favored in the Shandong region, but also widely sought after nationwide.
So, why is Shandong roast duck so delicious? This starts with its production method. Firstly, it is necessary to choose ducks with excellent breeds, moderate weight, and delicate meat texture. Secondly, it is necessary to wipe the surface of the duck with seasonings such as scallions, ginger, cooking wine, etc. and mix them into the inner cavity of the duck to allow the meat to absorb the aroma and remove the fishy smell. Next, boil the duck in clean water until it is 8 years old, then let it cool and dry. Cut open the duck's waist and grill it over charcoal fire. When grilling, it is necessary to constantly flip the duck to make its skin golden and crispy, and the meat tender and smooth inside. Cut the duck meat into thin slices and mix it with seasonings such as scallions, garlic paste, soy sauce, and sweet bean sauce to enjoy this delicious taste.
