elchfan Posted February 8, 2007 at 01:51 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 01:51 PM Hello all lovers of chinese food, I am looking for the name of my former favourite dish. It is some kind of shredded meat in a spicy dark sauce, and you eat it just like beijing duck, with the cucumber and all, and you wrap it in the same kind of tortilla. Does anyone know the name or - even better - have a recipe? Thank you! Eva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted February 8, 2007 at 01:58 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 01:58 PM It's Peking Duck (北京烤鴨 Běijīng kǎo yā)! Here's your recipe Do invite me when you make it. He he... K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elchfan Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:06 PM Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:06 PM Hi Koneko, I´m sorry, maybe my description was not very clear. The dish is not duck, there is some other meat (I suppose pork) used for that. And I think somebody told me it´s called the beijing duck for poor people. But thanks for your help!

Koneko Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:13 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:13 PM Ha ha... then it must be Spring roll (春卷) http://chinesefood.about.com/od/dimsumeggrolls/r/springrollcant.htm K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elchfan Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:17 PM Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:17 PM No, it´s not. I know spring rolls - though I´ve never found them somewhere in China. For my dish, everything is served separately on the table. You get a plate with the meat, one with cucumber and scallions and one with the thin pancakes for wrapping.

realmayo Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:21 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:21 PM hmm ... I think I know the dish, I've eaten it in central China, not spring rolls and yes, assembled like peking duck ... But have no idea about the name I'm afraid! Thick dark sauce, probably lots of soy sauce. I think there's a doufu (strips of doufu) version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiao Kui Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 02:57 PM two kinds of foods other than Beijing duck that I've eaten with pancakes were Mushu pork in America And jing1jiang4rou4si1 京酱肉丝 (also pork in similar sauce that they use for duck) Since I live in sw China usually when we eat jing jiang rou si without the pancakes, but at Guozi Lou in Kunming they serve it with pancakes. No cucumbers, but they don't even serve that with the roast duck, you have to request it, and then the waitress proceeds to stare at you like you're some kind of alien . i'm not bitter.

realmayo Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:01 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:01 PM actually it was definitely the jingjiang rou si that I've had, and it was with little sheets of doufu rather than pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:09 PM I think it's probably 京醬肉絲. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:40 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 03:40 PM Definitely 京酱肉丝, I reckon. Here might also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted February 8, 2007 at 04:46 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 at 04:46 PM Now, that's "interesting"! I have never heard of it before. Does anyone know where I can try it in London? What type of Chinese cuisine is it? K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elchfan Posted February 9, 2007 at 12:45 PM Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 at 12:45 PM Yes, that´s it, thanks a lot to all of you! I´ve eaten it only in northern China, maybe it belongs to Beijing Cuisine? Eva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
