Ingredients

• Duck breast - 400 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Scallions - 2, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, five-spice powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and salt to create a marinade.
3. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
4. Place the duck breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
6. Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the meat side.
7. Transfer the duck breasts to a baking dish, skin-side up, and brush with any remaining marinade.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
9. Remove from the oven and let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve the sliced duck topped with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro.
