Eight Treasure Duck
This prized Shanghainese dish is typically served on special occasions, like Chinese New Year, because it takes a lot of effort to prepare. It features a rich filling of abalone, sea cucumber, shrimp, conpoy, duck gizzards, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, pine nuts, lotus seeds and glutinous rice, which is stuffed into a duck skin by hand and shaped into an auspicious gourd.
