Made a duck for New Year. This time I figured I would make a 'pipa' duck. A split duck, with head and neck, looks like a lute, thus the name. This duck did not come with head and neck intact, oh well, just the sound box then. It is parboiled for a few minutes and then dried with a electric fan. Garlic, sesame paste, sweet bean paste, salt and rose liquor are smeared onto the bones. A thin honey and vinegar glaze is put on the skin and then blown dry again.

It goes into a 400℉ oven until nice and brown. Well, this is just a hair over...

It take a long time waiting for the skin to dry completely so I grilled the liver and heart and gizzards as a snack.
