Delicious Christmas duck recipe with Southeast Asian flavours and traditional German Christmas elements. This dish could easily end up as the family’s yearly tradition.https://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/peking-duck-with-potato-dumplingsChristmas has never been significant for my family and I back in Malaysia. However, since coming to Germany, Christmas has always been a day to celebrate along with delicious food. In fact, since the beginning of December, one will be able to enjoy various Christmas dishes here. One of the most popular dishes is goose (I wrongly mentioned turkey in the video) served with potato dumplings which are also known as Knödel and red cabbage. Accompanied with mushroom sauce, this dish simply screams Christmas!As I am a big fan of Asian flavours, I decided to change this traditional German dish and give it a makeover, an Asian makeover to be exact. It is my dream to create authentic Peking duck in my kitchen with the limited utensils I have but it would not be an easy journey as it would take days.I learnt a lot as I experimented and decided that the flavours could be recreated for this fusion dish. I tried to make the skin of the duck as dry as possible so that it would be crispy and have the whole dish perked with some spiciness too. I think it is the Malaysian in me that was unable to let this dish pass without the spicy factor! The sweetness of the hoisin orange juice gravy together with the spiciness of the sour chinese cabbage and the soft potatoes dumplings were the perfect combination for the Peking Duck.This recipe is also a short cut version of the authentic Peking Duck and if you like, it can be served as it is. I had fun creating this recipe and thought that it would be a great compromise for Asian families who enjoy Christmas dishes but are not familiar with the western flavours. You need to give it a try.To save time, you can prepare the potatoes dumplings (without boiling them) and vegetables a day earlier. Just keep them refrigerated until it is time to reheat them to be served. That would really make things easier if you are planning to cook this dish for a large group of people.Roasted Turkey with Black Pepper Saucehttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/roasted-turkey-with-black-pepper-sauceHainanese Chicken Ricehttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/nasi-ayam-hainanPoon Choi (Hakka)https://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/poon-choiHoney Soy Sauce Chicken Wingshttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/honey-soy-sauce-chicken-wingsThree Cup Chickenhttps://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/three-cup-chickenNyonya Cooking: http://nyonya.tv/nyonyacookingFacebook: http://nyonya.tv/facebookInstagram: http://nyonya.tv/instagramTwitter: http://nyonya.tv/twitterPinterest: http://nyonya.tv/pinterest #nyonyacooking
