Watch him break down each step in the intricate process, as demonstrated by his collaborator Chef Han, in serving authentic and traditional Peking Duck.

Subs pls guys
🤤🤤🤤🤤
Please use subtitles instead of voiceovers.
too bad the meat is bland.
I wish I heard him voiceover instead.
NICE CHEF
The dub soundtrack is a little cringeworthy. Authentic voice and subtitles is way better.
Missing some steps…. Was it bc they didn’t want to show some secret
That's not ducksauce, that's Hoisin sauce.
This is AMAZİNG to see when you are carving the duck immediately!
One day, I’m gonna have me a Duck room….
I wouldn't mind letting the chef's voice play and reading subtitles! The voiceover removes some of the feeling of fascination and intimacy watching a master in their own kitchen. Instead, I feel like I'm watching a scientific observational video.
Though, if the chef wanted to remain more private and requested someone cover his voice, I understand!
Would personally prefer subtitles and to hear the chef speak. That’s just my personal preference, and I know many people do not agree. and that’s okay
you guys don't need someone speaking over the chef while he's using his native tongue, just put subtitles
the voiceover is no bueno
Instead of doing a voice over, just use subtitles?
I have never heard of the sugar, garlic, pickles thing. Who does this? 3:33
Sorry but I didn't see one drop of juice come off that meat. It was dried out. Go watch other videos and when they carve the duck up , juices are running clear. Moist wet juicy meat. This one was dry.
This guy owns a restaurant in SF and can't speak English? What a disgrace.
Do not dub over the video! Release the video with the chef's original words and voice!
I lived in San Francisco for over 24 years and this is one of the most disappointing restaurant in the city for me.
My favo food here in Shanghai 🙂
No dub pls
Well that is positively… I think youtube prefers to keep a particular word out of the comments, so let's say food content that might be described as being of an adult nature.
A beautiful and well earned craftmanship ❤❤❤ Me raising ducks next year may do this for my straight run that ends up with some males.
Skipped many steps. Seems like the chef doesn't want to share his secrets 😀
Either you forgot to put the seasoning scene or it is the restaurant's secret.
Usually they put the seasoning inside the duck's belly before roasting.
one of my all time favorite dishes. Peking duck
Great video, thankyou 🙂
i love this segment and have been waiting for the next update ever since it uploaded PLEASE DO MOREEEEEEEE!!its my comfort video rn HAHAHHAAHA.
Like lots of your other viewers, I understand Mandarin and really would've preferred to be able to listen to the chef speak for himself. YouTube now enables you to have different audio tracks and people can select which one they want to listen to, so maybe next time could we have the dub and the chef's original audio as two separate track options, please?
can you guy find a proper chinese to english translator
piece of art
art❤❤
the chef is very confident with his skill , truely a master . thank you for videos .
Why is this dubbed? And why are Yuhui Han and Lijun Han listed as "Talent" as if they're actors? This seems to be meant to be a profile of specific chef's craft but instead has recipe video vibes as if the chefs on screen are just visual assistance to the narrator.
No need for subtitles. Great video.
no voice over please
I have a phd in cutting duck 🤣😅
It’s satisfying seeing the chef carving that delicious looking duck.
Now I'm hungry for Peking Duck…..
