LA Roast Duck Raiders | Those who say that roast duck is greasy are really wrong!

Do you guys who love roast duck make it? There are no less than ten roast duck restaurants in Los Angeles!

But before releasing the list, allow me to do a little science and explanation. Rest assured, we do not talk about the principle of the process, but only care about the taste!

Roast ducks are very particular about how to choose ducks, and the Beijing-Cantonese style is different.Those who say that roast duck is greasy are really wrong! Hurry up and forward the article to them!

Beijing Roast Duck vs Cantonese Roast Duck
Note that we are talking about Cantonese roast duck, not roast meat.
in conclusion
The crispness of the skin Cantonese style>hanging furnace>song furnace
Subcutaneous fat stuffing furnace>hanging furnace>Cantonese style

AuthenticPeking duckThe film comes out in three parts. One is the skin on the back of the duck, which is dipped in white sugar while it is still hot and eaten. After putting it in the mouth, the duck oil melts with the white sugar in the mouth. The second is the part of the belt meat, which is the essence of the whole roast duck. It has both crispy duck skin and soft duck meat. It is best to wrap it in pancakes with dipping sauce. Finally, there is only the duck portion, which is just as delicious when paired.
Cantonese Roast DuckThe film method is particularly different. The duck skin and duck meat are completely separated, and the shape is "the stars and the moon". Duck skin is topped with hot oil before serving, so it is crispy. But the oil under the duck skin is generally removed, so it is the least greasy way.

Hanging Stove vs Oven

Beijing Roast Duck is divided into two major schools, one is Quanjude and Dadong's hanging oven roasted duck, and the other is cheap oven roasting.
Hanging stoveMulti-purpose fruit trees, pay attention to the color of red, the outer focus is tender. The duck skin is crispy, but the fat under the skin has melted.
OvenAs the name suggests, there is no open flame. The duck is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the skin and meat are not detached. The middle layer of oil retains the best.
Everyone is now pursuing health, and biting fat ducks that can leak oil in their mouths is not to be seen anymore, so many businesses have improved their duck slicing methods and production. So our list only says"Separation of flesh" or "connection of flesh", I will not deliberately emphasize the Cantonese style Beijing style.

Soft pancakes vs lotus leaf cakes

The name may be a bit controversial. "Soft pancake" is actually called lotus leaf cake. It is thin and transparent, soft and not collapsed. The guy with a soft bun that is called "lotus cake" because of the lace is also called "lotus cake".


In short, for the convenience of writing, we forcibly stipulate that the soft pancake is on the left and the lotus leaf pancake on the right. In fact, the essential difference is "rolling or sandwiching", but if you want to roll / snap as many and as good as possible, don't miss it, it's really hard work.

OK, gossip less, the list officially starts
