Chinese Style Roast Duck
My family love duck. As this was baking everyone was getting excited to eat it.
I love to serve this with rice and Bok Choy with Garlic, Honey and Soy and also with Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce.
Use leftover bones as the basis of a noodle soup and add leftover duck meat at the end to warm through.
This is simple and delicious.

Preheat oven to 200°C/180C fan forced. Rinse duck and pat dry with paper towel. Combine spice, sugar and salt. Rub into skin and cavity. Place duck, breast-side down on a greased rack in a roasting pan. Place garlic, ginger and star anise inside duck.
Combine soy, shaoxing and honey in a saucepan and simmer for 1 minute. Brush glaze all over duck and place into middle of the oven. Reduce temperature to 190°C/170C fan forced and bake for 40 minutes, brushing occasionally with glaze.
Turn duck over, brush with glaze and cook for a further 45 minutes, brushing occasionally with glaze until cooked and skin is a deep-golden brown. Remove from oven and rest for 20 minutes before serving.
Cut into pieces and serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
Enjoy!
