To achieve the right crispy texture,the duck is dried, and then coasted with a syrup and soy sauce before it is roasted. The skin is skillfully carved. It is eaten with pancakes, Chinese onion and sweet soybean Sauce. The common way is as follows: take a piece of pancake, clip some slices of onion into the sweet soybean sauce and put them on the pancake, together with two or three pieces of duck meat. Roll the whole thing up and then it is ready to eat. Some restaurants also serve up just about every part of the duck, from the webbed feet to the beak and liver. On request, the remainder of the duck meat can be sauted with bean sprouts and the bones made into wonderful soup with cabbage.
