Method

Slow-roasted five spice duck
  • 1
    Preheat oven to 160°C. Place a wire rack or trivet in a large baking dish.

    Rub duck skin with combined five spice, sugar and salt. Fill cavity with remaining ingredients. Seal cavity with a wooden skewer or tooth picks. Place duck, breast-side up, on rack.

    Bake 3 hours, turning and pricking skin every 30 minutes, to render the excess fat.

Notes

Pre-made pancake wrappers are available from Asian supermarkets. To make your own crepes, whisk 1 cup plain flour, 300 millilitres milk and egg together. Cook 2 tablespoons of mixture at a time, in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, until golden. Turn and cook the other side.
