　　Enping Cured Duck – A Famous, Special, and High-Quality New Agricultural Product of Guangdong Province

　　Enping Cured Duck is deeply loved for its unique production method, high-quality ingredients, and rich aroma. In many towns and villages in Enping City, it is customary for every household to make their own cured duck. The process of making Enping Cured Duck is relatively complex, and not a single step can be skipped. First, the free-range spotted-feather duck must be plucked, gutted, and boiled in boiling water to remove feathers, then washed and air-dried — a process that takes nearly one full day. Next, the duck is pressed into shape and salt-cured for one day. The following morning, the cured duck is propped open with bamboo sticks, its beak threaded with string, and then hung on a bamboo pole to dry in the sun. To ensure an authentic flavor, no spices are added during the entire production process. After about ten days of sun and air curing, it becomes the fully flavored Enping Cured Duck.
