Ingredients

• Duck - 1 whole (about 1.2 kg)
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 60 ml
• Hoisin sauce (gluten-free) - 30 ml
• Rice wine - 30 ml
• Five spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Spring onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 250 ml

Steps

1. Rinse the duck under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, five spice powder, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the duck, making sure to get it inside the cavity as well. Place the duck in a large resealable bag or a dish, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
5. Remove the duck from the marinade and place it on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Reserve the marinade for basting.
6. Pour the water into the baking dish to keep the duck moist during cooking.
7. Roast the duck in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the reserved marinade.
8. Once the duck is golden brown and cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
9. Serve the duck sliced, garnished with chopped spring onions, and enjoy!
