El pato pekinés es una delicia gastronómica de gran antigüedad. Se lleva cocinando desde hace 5.000 años, sin embargo, algo que muchos no saben es que sus orígenes provienen de Mesopotamia.
Las primeras referencias que tenemos de este manjar aparecen en una obra de Jean Bottero llamada “La plus vieille cuisine du monde” (La cocina más antigua del mundo) donde recoge la traducción de tres tablas descubiertas en Yale, en las reservas de “Babylonian Collection”. En estas tablas aparecían los textos escritos de las recetas más antiguas del mundo y entre ellas se encontraba el pato.
Ahora bien, es cierto que, los chinos fueron la primera cultura en tener en cuenta las características de este para su cocina y han convertido el pato laqueado en un plato realmente elaborado, desde su crianza hasta su cocción, creando una raza autóctona de este animal llamado: pato pekinés.
A día de hoy, todo turista que visite el país de China, más concretamente la ciudad de Pekín, establece como parada obligatoria un restaurante recomendado donde comer esta receta típica de los asiáticos.
Aunque en China el foie gras no es un alimento especialmente consumido, es el país que más pato cocina en el mundo. Y es que su tradición de comer pato pekinés se remonta a los años de la dinastía Yuan (1.279 – 1.368).
En Asador City Wok Elche te vamos a decir cual es la clave de este manjar y es que el crujiente de su piel lo hace irresistible para muchos paladares. Para ello, la tarea que desempeña esta receta es especialmente minuciosa:
Aunque el origen de este plato se remonta a la dinastía Yuan, como ya hemos mencionado, no queda claro cómo se llegó a la idea de cocinar este ave que en algunos países se consideraba como la más baja del corral. Además, la gastronomía de china, rara vez opta por hornear alimentos.
Se dice que durante la dinastía Song del Sur el sector de la gastronomía estaba muy desarrollada y concretamente la provincia de Zhejiang era famosa por sus ríos y lagos donde vivía gran cantidad de patos. Estos patos se cocinaban a fuego lento y pasó a ser uno de los platos más populares. Cuando la dinastía Yuan venció a la dinastía Song, entre los prisioneros se encontraban grandes cocineros que llevaron la receta consigo y lograron expandirla.
Hay otras leyendas que apuestan por la posibilidad de que Marco Polo tuviese algo que ver con el origen de este plato como consecuencia del vínculo entre la mezcla de culturas y la popular receta europea del ganso asado.
También se comenta que se introdujo gracias a la conquista alemana de la ciudad de Qingdao durante el siglo XIX cuando introdujeron el pavo asado. Sin embargo, esta teoría es pura especulación que no avala ninguna prueba.
En Asador City Wok Elche puedes degustar esta delicia de manjar además de otros platos típicos de la cocina asiática, mediterránea, argentina y la plancha teppanyaki como la parrillada argentina, el sushi, la paella, el pollo con almendras, la ternera con salsa de ostras, etc.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
