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 😄🤩
"Is this duck poached, smoked, roasted, fried, or air compressed?"
"Yes."
2024: meal's ready 🍴!
Hahahahah
Probably trained by Heston
😂😂😂😂
In 3 years from now people will be eating
@@namenezes ay i got that reference
Day 53: I am still cooking the Peking duck, my guests have already perished. I can't keep doing this any longer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
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.
"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

Exactly!!!!

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.
I'm glad some said it
@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
American Pekin Duck (call it American Aryan Faux-Pekin Duck) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pekin
China-type Peking Duck (some call it Mandarin Duck - the REAL Peking Duck) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_duck
When buying products and goods, especially a traditional cuisine, go for the REAL AUTHENTIC one, it's ALWAYS BETTER !! - Indian Curry - taste much more flavorful than Japanese (Faux-Indian) Curry or Thai (Faux-Indian) Curry..... 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 !! Not the fake Aryan pekin duck !!
daydaynews.cc/en/history/279512.html
They TASTE completely different !!!
@@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'm not a cook and i was fascinated with this vid. impressed me no end.
This is by far the most methodical video for cooking Peking Duck. Great job!
I love peking duck but to be honest, there are just some things I'll leave to the professionals and this is one of them.
Do it for the Snap or Instagram.
Same here - one is aware of one's limitations! :)
lmao so true
+William Jones i wished there's a simplified version of this that would taste similarly close to the original recipe 😢

+ChefSteps The longer the better!
+ipoundstuff We will keep that in mind!
+ChefSteps honestly when you guys have longer vids with this quality, i would watch it for hours.
+ChefSteps I know you guys like to make sauces. Could you guys make Hoisin in the future?
+ChefSteps Nah it was good! it wasn't long at all. I've always wanted to know how a good peking duck could be done at home
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.
A lovely understatement - "It's looking good". No, it's looking absolutely amazing!
I'm Chinese and I approve this method . Good job.
+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?
+Aesza Pt I agree 👍
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.
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).
+angelica amoure Yup. I am surprised to see someone else points this out. GJ
I agree 👍
Will you mary me?
北京烤鸭应该用果木烤，自带烟熏效果，这里用烤箱，没有烟熏味道，所以多加一步烟熏。油炸是因为他这种把鸭子放烤盘的方法做不出来挂烤的脆皮，油炸加脆。用麦芽糖刷皮是传统北京烤鸭的做法，百度搜一下，很常见的，不是借鉴其他菜系。
That is kitchen or auto workshop
Super thank you very much
Probably one of the juiciest peking duck i've seen. I've had peking ducks all over china, this method looks absolutely delicious. And a ginger chef is making it right! Good stuff man!
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 HIHGLY agree with you
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.
"Paint me like one of you're pekin ducks" -that duck
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, 😁👍👍👍👍👍
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!
You were the two air compressors
I'm chinese and this guy has my respect.

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.
hvuu1628 he respects him cuz he isn't even Chinese but can cook good Peking duck
Pepe TheFrog everything is wrong when you show respect when not need to. That means you just suck beyond words can describe.
Rindran The Blaze Builder but the dude will never cook a real or good peking duck. There is no need for respecting a mockery.
If you're worried about not having an air compressor, use a bicycle pump.
+Franzapanz totally works, as well as an isi whipping siphon.
LOL 😂😂
@J G wtf 😂😂
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.
The only part I have problem with is the wrapper. We use a much thinner wrapper for Peking duck. Not the buns shown in his video
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.
I started this recipe five years ago. Today It was finally ready! Yeah baby!
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.
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.
Perfect tutorial.. no hidden, no cuts, no edits.
I'm making this for New Year's! Thanks man, wonderful recipe! Very practical for a Peking duck!
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.
Love your name, profile pic And comment.
it costs minimum 50 dollars..its considered luxurious high end food
I would charge $100 using Chef Steps' method.
doubt you could get the duck raw for $50.
Stop giving them ideas. Locally, the cost of a basic whole roasted duck is already high as they can be ($37)

what's the recipe for the red chili sauce, please?!!
Thank you for sharing the whole detailed steps!
That looks freaking awesome. Knowledge and tools create beautiful things.

Absolutely amazing.
I'm Soo glad that I found this channel
Thank you Cheff fo sharing this wonderful way of making Peking Duck. Will definitely try it. Cheers.
LIST OF EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: *sees air compressor*... ok I'll just make something else
hahaha....my thought exactly!
Can’t help someone who is incapable of improvising!
Just perform CPR on the duck.
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.
I'm always curious of clever ways to do this at home. Thank you Soo much
Great recipe and very effective camera angles. I can actually see what’s happening.
On a completely unrelated note, your tattoos are beautiful.
This is probably the best Peking duck video on UA-cam. Great job!
This is Vegan, right?

That skin! YUMMO
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.
Man this is some super pro stuff! Amazing work! Thank you for the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
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? :)
Thank you for the recipe. I will attempt this tonight. And hopefully have it done by next week
WOW!! NICE VIDEO!! Thanks for taking time to show how it's dobe step by step 👍👍
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?
Fantastic as usual. I would love to see you guys tackle more Mexican food, especially tamales. Been wondering if sous vide tamales would work.
You are the master of peking duck!
Art of cooking to the perfection. 👍🏼
Not the most traditional, but amazing nonetheless. Good job!
I swear, I can smell that duck and sauce thru my screen...
Hoping to try this dish someday!
Love this video... keep them coming!
Oh please don't use those thick buns. You're suppose to use thin flour wraps so it doesn't just cover all the flavor you put so much hard work into.
Yeah no... The buns they used are perfect
+3503986 Definitely not. Not traditional and like I said above, covers up a lot of flavor.
Its called Bao its perfect for peking duck
+homunculus7 I know what it's called. But no, it's definitely not perfect. The only place I have ever seen them used with Peking Duck aside from America is Taiwan. Australia, Canada, and Mainland China (and even fricken Saipan chefs that came from mainland China) use the thin wraps so it doesn't just mask the flavor and crispiness.
The buns are much better for thicker and juicier cuts of meat like pork or even thicker cuts of duck, but this just covers the flavor and texture of Peking Duck.
+Amy He I'm sure it tasted fine
"hey whatcha doin?"
"paintin' birds"
Such a good book.
This looks amazing.
Dude! This is incredible stuff! Thank you!
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.
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
Didn't knew Haaland was such a talented chef, amazing kid!
Or Kevin De Bruyne
Omgggg delicious. I'm gonna try this!
5 dayssss
No sous vide? who are you and what have you done to the real chefstep team?
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.
well done!! looks super delicious...
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.
That skin.
Bravo.
Fantastic. Love it. Thank you!
Duck is delicious,I love it
Thanks for sharing
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!
Am I the only one who keeps watching this?
Eventually you should start cooking
And still not cook yet.
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.
The best ! Good job
Man...that was WAY too easy and quick. When i do it it takes 50 days and involves 200 different steps.
Are you getting soft and lazy Chefstep.
Just kidding-great work as always guys!
"You and your friends" lets be fare here, none of us have friends.
It's a tradition to come to this video once in a while for me
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!
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 .
Who’s here because of Yakuza Like a Dragon?
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. :)
Amazing!! Thanks chef
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!
Dat crunch 😿
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
The people that dislike either a vegetarian or a chicken lover . What a special treat to see such a unique way of roasted a duck . Look so delicious .
was expecting sous vide
lol!
Wow! this method is pretty cool, I like the way he use the air compressor to separate the skin. However, there are some flaws to the process. You don't want to cut off the tail to release all those aromatic spices cooking in the duck as you won't get that deep flavor. Also you don't need to fry it again with hot oil to get the skin crispy. Instead of covering with foil at the 2nd cooking, all you have to do is set the oven to broil and cook for 5 minute each side until the skins all turns crispy.
you sir are a gentleman and a scholar
Used this recipe. It was as good if not better than most Chinese restaurants.
I want to send my nephew to apprentice with you guys
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..
