Cha Siew Duck

I found this recipe in an old copy of Consuming Passions I bought in a thrift shop. I don’t plan to keep the book, so am storing this recipe here so I can make it soon.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  large duck breasts
• 100  ml light soy sauce
• 100  ml hoisin sauce
• 50  ml oyster sauce
• 50  ml honey
• 50  ml  rice wine vinegar
• 3  teaspoons five-spice powder

Directions

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, trim the duck breasts and add to the bowl. Marinate over night.
2. Sear the duck breasts in a hot non-stick pan over high heat (taking care not to burn the marinade).
3. Place the duck breasts in a baking dish and roast in a pre-heated oven at 205c or until medium rare (about 8 minutes).
4. Allow the duck to stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
