Beijing, China
6 dishes to eat in Beijing, what is in them, and where they belong.
Air-dried, hung-roast duck carved at the table into pancakes with scallion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce.
Thick wheat noodles under a salty fermented soybean and pork sauce, with raw vegetable shreds stirred through.
A thin crepe cooked on a drum griddle with egg, sauce, coriander and a sheet of fried cracker. The city's breakfast.
A simmering pot at the table for cooking meat and vegetables, with a sesame dipping sauce mixed to your own recipe.
Steamed filled buns and dumplings, sold by weight or by the basket at neighbourhood shops.
Fermented mung bean drink — sour, pungent and genuinely divisive. A real Beijing taste rather than a tourist one.
