As a local from Beijing, we don't use ducks that are lean. The ducks selected for the dish are called 填鸭（tianya). They are basically fed 24/7 to keep them fat so that the meat can be rich and tender when cooked. And we normally use only 甜面酱(tianmianjiang), a kind of bean sauce, as dipping sauce. Complemented with fine slices of green onion and cucumber, wrapped in paper-thin 荷叶饼(lotus pancake), every single bite is a fusion of flavors. Basically, cool video and great adaptation of Peking duck with some changes, but you cannot do this properly at home.
@Heonjun Park one whole duck can be quite pricey esp. in fancy restaurants... in my family store we sell them about $25 to 40 per whole duck depending on the size (we are not in Beijing so the price varies from city to city) Most people would buy half a duck unless they are having a banquet at home
This is Americans stealing and misappropriating traditions and culture from other countries again (US Hegemony Alert!! Neo-colonialism !!) . I am sure it is not the same, just as Japanese curry is not the same as the REAL AUTHENTIC curry from INDIA. But the merchants in USA and JAPAN are trying to profit from the cultures of other countries and keeping profits and riding on free publicity. Totally not the same thing as Peking Duck of China I am sure !! American ducks are paler fairer taller some have blonde hairs and they are different in taste than the Peking Duck in China. Even if American ducks are used to make Peking Duck... it will taste like American Ducks in Peking Duck style but it will not taste the same as Peking Ducks from Peking made in the Imperial Peking Duck style... They are all different. This is American Faux-Peking Duck.... It's like Italian-American cuisine - Spaghetti in Alfredo sauce? Cannot find it in Italy !! Eat real Chinese Peking Duck in USA here !!! ua-cam.com/video/SIsCRcwSspQ/v-deo.html

Japanese Sushi... tastes better than US New York Faux- Japanese Sushi......Ratatouille of France.... tastes better than the British Ratatouille of Gordon Ramsay or American Ratatouille of US TV Cooks... when trying PEKING DUCK this Christmas, go for the REAL PEKING DUCK !!

@@hokkiengospel At first, Its hard to say whether you are serious, or if you are mocking political correctness. Too bad, it seems the former. Are the American Ducks racist because the ducks are " paler fairer taller some have blonde hairs"?? Even the chef in this video had blonde hair! Scary. LOL.
I tell you, the chef is not Chinese but the recipe is legitimate. The fact he uses maltose instead of sugar, tells me how authentic this is. I made this tonight and it blew my mind. I air dried it for 3 day and it’s totally worth the wait. I followed every step of it. It came out soooooo good. Thank you for sharing. -some random Chinese lady who lives in the US and misses Chinese food.
you obviously know very little about Peking duck, when you say that this recipe is legitimate, just because he used maltose syrup. The entire process in this video is totally wrong.
@@timstravellingwok Theres no regional or chef-specific variations allowed? Theres only ONE way to make it? You wouldnt happen to be a Boston-NY-Philly corridor native that specializes in pizza?
+Alex Cheong nobody said it was... but its a decent modern substitute for those who don't have the available utensils and ewuipment to do it authentically
+Alex Cheong Not to offend you, but this guy's family name looks more Mainland Chinese than yours, since the duck originated from Beijing, mainland China. And I don't really understand the word "authentic"; being in China the same dish is cooked differently by different chef/restaurant, as long as it comes out great and tastes good, what's the matter?
***** Yes, it is true that his so-called user name sounds more mainland chinese to me. And, being picky to good food doesn't equal to being ultra-sensitive to the word "authentic", how authentic you were expecting from this video? Using the same mouth-blowing method as how those Beijing old guys do at their own restaurants?
Yes, Chinese people have the MOST discerning pallets and they only got to GOOD restaurants, hence all Chinese restaurants are good. What a bunch of BS u pretentious twat. Typical 2nd generation arrogance. This is a great home recipe for people who aren't making 50 ducks a week and don't have the time or tools to do it traditionally.
Ironmantis25 when a gwai lo have your respect for your own heritage arts it also mean you have been disgraces because you let an outsider up you on your own game turf. sad sad sad...... this why chinese culture is dying.
This guy obviously doesnt know what he is doing, when it comes to Peking duck. The usual process is very simple and the results are amazing, unlike this crappy video.
All you people judging the authenticity of this dish/method when none of you have even tried making Peking duck through your perception of authenticity. I showed my uncle this (he owns some of the biggest restaurants in Shanghai and Bejing that serves Peking duck), and he said their method was interesting and nice to watch. Authenticity is just a base for cooking, and should not be the goal.
Your Uncle is Chef Dong? I do think that their technique would yield a pretty delicious duck even though it's not the traditional Beijing technique, but I don't think there's anything wrong with people pointing out that this actually uses other cooking techniques to achieve it.
Its the Ultimate guide to Peking Duck....a world famous classic, of course its going to be open to comments about authenticity. Its not a criticism, its the sharing of opinions. And yes, many years ago I did make peking duck, mandarin pancakes and all, it was awesome....but mad work. Agree that this IS an interesting watch though and I'm certain its delicious. But this video is more like "Fine Cooking" magazine than "Saveur".
Chef Dong's restaurant is not that good. I had a meal at one of his oldest location (Tuanjiehu). I ordered a duck and three side dishes. I give their duck 1/5 and 2/5 for side dishes. However, for this one, I can not even give a 1/5 if the chef call it a Peking duck, because it's not.
I have eaten a LOT of Peking Duck in DC and NY, I have never seen it served rare and doubt I would eat raw-ish duck meat unless it was certified by a microbiologist. Hell no. Make it moist AND well done takes skill and time.
This is not an authentic most-straightforward Pecking duck recipe, but quite EXCELLENT! Thank you very much! (Since all cultures evolve, recipes evolve too, as in "food culture".) This is a combination of 3 most famous Chinese recipes for duck: the original Pecking duck 北京烤鴨 (preparation, marinade technique, air compression, blanching, hang dry in cold for at least 1 day, roasting, etc.), the Sichuan smoked duck 樟茶鴨 (flavoring, smoking, and final deep frying), and the Yanzi-River cuisine crispy duck 香酥鴨 (malt glaze on skin, and deep frying).
I'm so happy that in the midst of all these mediocre "cooking" channels on UA-cam, there is this channel. We really appreciate you taking your time and effort researching and making food the best way possible. Thanks for inspiring and teaching us.
The people at Chef Steps are the most devoted people i have ever seen. The way this duck was prepared. I'd pay 50 for it. This is where it's at, none of this rushed bullshit, this is what you want to eat, this is why i respect these guys so much. Juicy pink interior, perfectly crisped skin. Nice light apple smoked flavour. The best on You Tube.
Peking Duck is one of those things where I question why you'd want to make it at home, but then again I live in an urban area with access to chinese restaurants that serve it. Just one of those things like croissaints where it seems difficult to justify making at a small home scale.
+Tim Yes, living in urban and suburban areas, we are kind of spoiled with how much access we have to so many different things. Before living in the City I grew up in the Country, ethnic foods just don't exist out there. We would have to drive 4 hours to the closest restaurant to get Peking Duck, and it's not even the good kind.
holy hell, that rub is insanity! making that asap. Thanks for putting in the time for such a complex and unreal recipe. It aint easy to find this shit on the internet and you just broke it down like a boss!
Very interesting way to prepare it. I remember back in the day when my parents gave me and my sister each a straw and we would blow into the duck to separate the skin. We had a lot of fun doing it. But now I know that my parents tricked us into doing the hard part. Lol I think Angelica is right when she says you’ve combined 3 different Chinese duck recipes but still looks amazing and I’d love to try it!
Impressive! That's exactly how we made it and without a modern motor, chefs used to "blow" the duck with mouths so hygiene was the problem. The only diff is the pastry at the end, we do steamed sheets. Your bread is more Taiwanese twist.
Unless you have a dental/ medical grade oilless air compressor with the correct water separator, particulate filter, coalescing filter (which is very expensive compared to the cheap ones you can get at home depot and lowes) I would not use air from an air compressor on any thing I plan to put into my body. Most home improvement and mechanic type air compressors have steel tanks that rust inside them and have all kinds of oils, bacteria, and particles that can be harmful to us in the air supply from it sucking everything from the outside air around the pump inlet and non oilless compressors also have a lot of oil from the oil put in for the compressors pump and motor that gets into the air supply and in the tank.
I think people who want to do it at home can skip the 5 days wait and the air compressor thing. Leave it to dry for 1 or 2 days. It’s not going to be authentic but it will still taste good.
Who can hit dislike on this video? Someone who wouldn't come over with a 6er of beer and hope to get a little bit of this craft? This is art! Thanks for sharing. :)
Tried it today... Had gummy Skin but the duck was cooked perfect... Things I did differently (or wrong i guess): 1. no air compressor, separated Skin by Hand.. 2. Didn't hang it. 3. Used Maple Syrup instead of Maltose.. 4. Didnt have a Long skewer to spread the Skin out.. 5. Stuck it in the oven upright on a beer can chicken tin... Will try again later this year :)
Throughout my travels , I can conclude that Chinese cuisine is the hardest to learn and master. The amount of time and dedication it requires is second to none .
You may brush some maltsugar-water on the skin, and air-dry the duck for a few hours before roasting it. In this way, the duck skin can be drier and more crispy, and the color will be better, too. That's the traditional method.
As Chinese who is obsessed with pecking duck, I seriously make pecking duck at home, it will take days but I will use a electric air pump,which is much cheaper and will do the same job.
As a duck hunter and somrone that enjoys cooking i gave this a watch. Great job! My problem is the size of the duck. As soon as i saw it i knew it was a pen raised bird. Its huge compared to a wild bird and all that fat! Wild birds have almost no fat and you could stuff a Mallard or Sprig inside that cavity for stuffing. Never the less youve given me a number of ideas for cooking the wild birds.
Thank you for posting this. You made a very intricate process seem manageable for a novice home cook like myself to accomplish at home. I will be trying this. Looks fantastic.
Nice! I know he makes it look easier than it is but the end result in the oven is amazing! That skin looks perfect and the flesh is equally enticing! BTW who does not have a compressor in their garage? 30.00$ U.S. at Walmart!
I tried Peking Duck when I was at a trip to China. It was really really expensive but the best food I've ever tried. Couldn't look at chicken the same way. In my country (Japan), there are barely any of my favorite meats (like ducks, turkeys, lambs etc) in stores. We only have goddamn stupid chicken, pork, and beef. Yeah, well duh...
+Zane Osuna There are three ways to do it (and probably more if you get creative). The first and easiest option is an air compressor (recommended); the second is an iSi whipping siphon; and the third is a bike pump. In each case, the goal is to insert the air-blowing portion of the contraption into the space where the duck has been eviscerated, typically in the neck somewhere, and blow the skin up and off the flesh of the duck, as if you’re blowing up a balloon. Again, having the head, feet, and wings on makes this step a lot easier. chfstps.co/220mMKt
+Zane Osuna any CLEAN tubing and BLOW!!!lol no seriously even a straw will work just as well,if you're cooking at home,unless you sell peking duck for a living in which case i presume you will have all necessary tools ^^
+Zane Osuna This is a poor man soluion: Use a chopstick and insert it between the skin and the flesh. Do it on all sides of the duck. Here in the Netherlands the Asian stores only sell frozen duck, blowing air doesn't work because the skin is damaged and the head is chopped of.
+Zane Osuna I wouldn't be surprised if you can blow on it with your mouth and make it work. I've heard in China back in the days we use to skin pig by blowing air between its skin, so if you can do it to a large beast duck should be doable.
Oh man i love a good o fashion chinese roasted duck but your version is a whole new set of a beast. You can control the level of doneness way better, and that cold smoke method is just nice. I gotta try it for myself
Damn, the way he separates skin is genius! And use oil to fried the duck is also interesting. However, I suggest you put soy sauce with a darker color (老抽) on the skin.
This is a good substitute if you want to make it at home. The real deal is made with hot soup inside the duck while it's roasting so it cooks from the inside and outside.
"Here's how you can make incredible Peking Duck at home" Yeah because every home cook has an industrial air compressor, blow torch, wood chips, and multiple hanging stations just lying around. Also, I would't call 5 days of work "a little bit of patience". The scope of this video is way off. This should be presented as a master class.
I'm glad this recipe uses standard kitchen equipment. I always have my air compressor handy on the counter.
AHAHAHAHAH
Use basketball pump still work 👍
🤭😆
You could always just go to the gas station and use that air pump that's what I would do
Same dude 😄🤩
"a recipe you can do at home, and every time its incredible" *whips out air compressor* ohwell, maybe i can try using my bike pump
you can use hand/chopstick to get underneath the skin and separate the skin from the meat carefully without tearing the skin.
you can simply blow into it

You could just blow directly into the duck with your mouth. That’s traditionally how it’s down
Unless you have a dental/ medical grade oilless air compressor with the correct water separator, particulate filter, coalescing filter (which is very expensive compared to the cheap ones you can get at home depot and lowes) I would not use air from an air compressor on any thing I plan to put into my body. Most home improvement and mechanic type air compressors have steel tanks that rust inside them and have all kinds of oils, bacteria, and particles that can be harmful to us in the air supply from it sucking everything from the outside air around the pump inlet and non oilless compressors also have a lot of oil from the oil put in for the compressors pump and motor that gets into the air supply and in the tank.
OMG 5 days...I can't just imagine
Me : Mom what are we having (Monday)
Mom : Peking Duck
Me : Yayyyy
Mom: Come back on Friday ....
5 days but still raw
ive been to china hongkong taiwan never seen a raw pecking duck
Edgy Teen its not raw dumb ass Thats myoglobin not blood
LMAO!!! Not really a home recipe
I think people who want to do it at home can skip the 5 days wait and the air compressor thing. Leave it to dry for 1 or 2 days. It’s not going to be authentic but it will still taste good.
I'm not a cook and i was fascinated with this vid. impressed me no end.
Who can hit dislike on this video? Someone who wouldn't come over with a 6er of beer and hope to get a little bit of this craft? This is art! Thanks for sharing. :)
Tried it today... Had gummy Skin but the duck was cooked perfect... Things I did differently (or wrong i guess): 1. no air compressor, separated Skin by Hand.. 2. Didn't hang it. 3. Used Maple Syrup instead of Maltose.. 4. Didnt have a Long skewer to spread the Skin out.. 5. Stuck it in the oven upright on a beer can chicken tin... Will try again later this year :)
its been 2 yrs after ur post... did u try it again? .. this time by following the actual steps? :)
I'll take a long video any day! You guys rock!
This is probably the best Peking duck video on UA-cam. Great job!
Wow this is amazing, I see a lot of cooking tricks that even Asian guys like me don't know or forget how to use them! You are the top chef, 😁👍👍👍👍👍
Perfect tutorial.. no hidden, no cuts, no edits.
This gotta be the best cooking video I ever watched
That skin! YUMMO
Throughout my travels , I can conclude that Chinese cuisine is the hardest to learn and master. The amount of time and dedication it requires is second to none .
A lovely understatement - "It's looking good". No, it's looking absolutely amazing!
Neer seen this type of professionalism.. You are too good at this.
You may brush some maltsugar-water on the skin, and air-dry the duck for a few hours before roasting it. In this way, the duck skin can be drier and more crispy, and the color will be better, too. That's the traditional method.
Thought youtube wasnt allowed to show porn
Saekkestol lmaof you're crazy!
Saekkestol This is not porn it's literally a dead body on video
True, but then I wouldn't be able to go back to the beginning and replay that almost orgasmic crispy sound.
Edward Huang you Chinese people don't get these jokes do you...
Lol
I was good up until "air compressor"
not to mention I'd have trouble finding a duck let alone one with a head on
Asian grocery stores sell them frozen year round.
y all so funny... just make a quesadilla and get off the channel ... y'all lazy donkeys
As Chinese who is obsessed with pecking duck, I seriously make pecking duck at home, it will take days but I will use a electric air pump,which is much cheaper and will do the same job.
5 days for a Peking Duck!?? You deserves a Nobel Prize..
Sorry I can't wait that long.. I'm hungry right now..
As a duck hunter and somrone that enjoys cooking i gave this a watch. Great job! My problem is the size of the duck. As soon as i saw it i knew it was a pen raised bird. Its huge compared to a wild bird and all that fat!
Wild birds have almost no fat and you could stuff a Mallard or Sprig inside that cavity for stuffing.
Never the less youve given me a number of ideas for cooking the wild birds.
Love your step by step "how-tos" to demystify this great dish. The frying part still looks awfully dangerous though...
Yeah that part scares me a little. I'm all in on using the food grade air compressor though.
If you guys are ever in Palo Alto, try Peking Duck Restaurant, it's quite good.
Great...now I HAVE to go! Thanks for the recommendation!
Great...now I HAVE to go! Thanks for the recommendation!
No sous vide? who are you and what have you done to the real chefstep team?
this was so easy to follow! It's quite a gift to be both a great chef and a great pedagogue.
Thank you for posting this. You made a very intricate process seem manageable for a novice home cook like myself to accomplish at home. I will be trying this. Looks fantastic.
UUUUHM, only a minute in to the video, and i already need an air compressor... F me..
use ur mouth...thats how it was done in old days...make slit neck area n blow
I'll let the miss do that... If you know what i mean?
Absolutely amazing.
"hey whatcha doin?"
"paintin' birds"
Such a good book.
It's a tradition to come to this video once in a while for me
I'm Malaysian and I approve this method. Malaysian Peking duck is the best in the world, according to average Malaysian.
Not the most traditional, but amazing nonetheless. Good job!
I swear, I can smell that duck and sauce thru my screen...
Am I the only one who keeps watching this?
Eventually you should start cooking
And still not cook yet.
Thanks. Followed it mostly. I made oven rack lower on one side, duck fat ran to one end ,kept saving the fat and used that to fry with. Sooooo tasty.
Used this recipe. It was as good if not better than most Chinese restaurants.
That skin.
Bravo.
I'll starve. Ill just go down to Chinatown and buy a whole one for 20 bucks w/ steamed rice
There You go! Me too! but that was a cool tutorial!
Yal need to make some homemade steamed buns, those really white store bought ones are nasty.
+Weijie Yao We did! ua-cam.com/video/MrdhPY2bgq4/v-deo.html
+Weijie Yao Y'all bro
+Whaleform I agree 👍
Diego Wong
thank you
I agree! Come check out my Channel! Thanks!
Great recipe and very effective camera angles. I can actually see what’s happening.
On a completely unrelated note, your tattoos are beautiful.
I'm Soo glad that I found this channel
02:43 Will it still work if I blow in the air with my mouth? I cant afford an air compressor right now..
Use a straw lol and yes it works if your can blow hard enough.
That's what they did back in the day. Or you could get your friendly neighborhood saxophone player
you can move your hand throught the under the skin.That works perfect
"You and your friends" lets be fare here, none of us have friends.
any chance there would be a recipe for "Can't-F***-It-Up Peking Duck" using sous-vide method? heh
magthegath How would this method work for the dish? I couldn't see how you could come close to replicating this by using a water bath..
That looks freaking awesome. Knowledge and tools create beautiful things.
Nice! I know he makes it look easier than it is but the end result in the oven is amazing! That skin looks perfect and the flesh is equally enticing! BTW who does not have a compressor in their garage? 30.00$ U.S. at Walmart!
I want to send my nephew to apprentice with you guys
I tried Peking Duck when I was at a trip to China. It was really really expensive but the best food I've ever tried. Couldn't look at chicken the same way. In my country (Japan), there are barely any of my favorite meats (like ducks, turkeys, lambs etc) in stores. We only have goddamn stupid chicken, pork, and beef. Yeah, well duh...
If it was expensive you were scammed for being a stupid foreigner. I ate it all the time in southern Yunnan.
what can you use instead of an industrial air compressor.
+Zane Osuna There are three ways to do it (and probably more if you get creative). The first and easiest option is an air compressor (recommended); the second is an iSi whipping siphon; and the third is a bike pump. In each case, the goal is to insert the air-blowing portion of the contraption into the space where the duck has been eviscerated, typically in the neck somewhere, and blow the skin up and off the flesh of the duck, as if you’re blowing up a balloon. Again, having the head, feet, and wings on makes this step a lot easier. chfstps.co/220mMKt
+Zane Osuna
any CLEAN tubing and BLOW!!!lol
no seriously even a straw will work just as well,if you're cooking at home,unless you sell peking duck for a living in which case i presume you will have all necessary tools ^^
+Zane Osuna
This is a poor man soluion: Use a chopstick and insert it between the skin and the flesh. Do it on all sides of the duck. Here in the Netherlands the Asian stores only sell frozen duck, blowing air doesn't work because the skin is damaged and the head is chopped of.
+Zane Osuna I wouldn't be surprised if you can blow on it with your mouth and make it work. I've heard in China back in the days we use to skin pig by blowing air between its skin, so if you can do it to a large beast duck should be doable.
Industrial? That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
Oh man i love a good o fashion chinese roasted duck but your version is a whole new set of a beast. You can control the level of doneness way better, and that cold smoke method is just nice. I gotta try it for myself
Damn, the way he separates skin is genius! And use oil to fried the duck is also interesting. However, I suggest you put soy sauce with a darker color (老抽) on the skin.
Who’s here because of Yakuza Like a Dragon?
was expecting sous vide
lol!
Welcome to another episode of starving at 3am
No man. Not at all. I will order from the restaurant. The same reason one should not make roast pigs at home. Great video. Love it!!!
That is a long time process of cooking, but that crispy skin is so temptating
“How to make Peking duck at home” WHIPS OUT A AIR COMPRESSOR
WhEL CaN I USE My MouTH TO BlOw It
Do we really need to pay for the PREMIUM?
What the heck! He did it better than my country lol.
I'm making this for New Year's! Thanks man, wonderful recipe! Very practical for a Peking duck!
Thank you for the recipe. I will attempt this tonight. And hopefully have it done by next week
Chef: “Would you like to eat peking duck?”
Me: “Yes!”
Chef: “Okay, come back friday.”
Me: “F#@k You!”
1:04
"Here's what you'll need"
*A dead duck.
Most of the steps are for a “crispy skin”
This is very serious BBQ, this recipe fits for the KING
This is a good substitute if you want to make it at home. The real deal is made with hot soup inside the duck while it's roasting so it cooks from the inside and outside.
Yes Peking God, you have intimidated me. I will slowly back off.
"Here's how you can make incredible Peking Duck at home" Yeah because every home cook has an industrial air compressor, blow torch, wood chips, and multiple hanging stations just lying around. Also, I would't call 5 days of work "a little bit of patience". The scope of this video is way off. This should be presented as a master class.
2:00 *its gonna get real*
Authentic. I am from Peking. This one is delicious. Never done a roasted duck at home.
You are the master of peking duck!
