Peking Duck, also known as Peking Roast Duck, is considered to be one of China's national dishes. To prepare for the dish, ducks are bred specially for this dish and slaughtered after 65 days. Before roasting the duck in a closed or open oven using the wood of fruit trees, the duck is seasoned so that the flavor is absorbed into the meat. Usually, Peking Duck is eaten with pancakes, spring onions and sweet bean sauce.
