It is speculated that the name "duck sauce" came about because its ancestor,tianmian sauce, was first served withPeking duck in China. When the Chinese emigrated to the U.S., they created Chinese dishes that would appeal more to theAmerican palate, and developed a sweeter version of the sauce used in China.^[7]
