What is Peking Duck sauce?

Peking duck sauce is a traditional sauce originating from China, specially designed to accompany the famous Peking duck (Peking Duck). It stands out for its balance between salty, slightly sweet, and subtly spiced notes.

The version offered by Lee Kum Kee is crafted from carefully selected ingredients that deliver a deep and authentic flavor. Traditionally, this sauce is spread on thin wheat pancakes topped with crispy duck pieces, cucumber, and spring onions. It is also known as Peking Duck Sauce or Hoisin sauce for Peking duck, depending on culinary usage.

Thanks to its aromatic richness, it has become a staple for Asian cuisine lovers, both for traditional recipes and for more modern creations.
