Cantonese Roast Duck

Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. Clean the duck and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the duck with salt and five-spice powder, inside and out.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and Chinese cooking wine. Brush this mixture all over the duck.
  3. Stuff the duck with the ginger and green onions. Let the duck marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour.
  5. After 1 hour, flip the duck over and roast for another hour, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
  6. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
