Normally Peking duck takes over 24 hours to make, however this dish — which is inspired by the ingredients used in the traditional Chinese recipe — comes together in twenty short minutes. Duck breasts are used instead of a whole duck, making for a quick cook time. The fragrant, syrup-like sauce is a blend of fresh orange juice, sesame oil, and Sriracha.

Check out this photo that our very own Molly took. She was on vacation in Hong Kong and from the look of things, it seems like she was eating quite well. Her photo of a Peking style duck is a bit disturbing, but I bet it was even more delicious than she said it was.
I'll admit, it's a little weird to feature festive food from a country that doesn't really celebrate Christmas, but well folks, times are changing.
Although only one percent (or less) of the Chinese population is Christian, it appears that Christmas is on the rise. Much like America, urban retailers have now smothered their stores with Christmas trees, lights and wreaths and although it's not a public holiday, Christmas in China (particularly urban areas) is becoming a time to celebrate with friends, family and good food.
