Ingredients

• Duck (whole, cleaned) - 1 kg
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Honey - 30 g
• Five-spice powder - 1 tsp
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 tsp
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Black pepper - 1/2 tsp
• Green onions (chopped) - 2 stalks
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Water - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
2. Rub the marinade all over the duck, making sure to get it under the skin and inside the cavity. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and pour the water into the pan beneath the rack.
4. Roast the duck in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to crisp the skin, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and roast for an additional 60 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
5. Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Chop into serving pieces and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
