Instructions

8 steps
  1. 1

    To make the duck, preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  2. 2

    Place the duck in a high-sided roasting tin. Mix the five-spice powder with the soy sauce and honey in a small bowl and smother it all over the duck. Place in the oven for 50 minutes. Remove and set aside to rest.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, to make the sweet and sour sauce, heat all the ingredients (except the pineapple wedges) together in a saucepan. Taste and adjust acidity and sweetness with vinegar and juice as needed. Keep warm.

  4. 4

    Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the pineapple until charred all over. Cut into bite-sized chunks.

  5. 5

    To make the egg fried rice, beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the soy and sesame oil.

  6. 6

    Heat a wok or pan and fry the egg mix until set, then beat to break it up. Tip out the pan and set aside.

  7. 7

    Add the remaining ingredients and cook until hot, then add the egg back in.

  8. 8

    To serve, pour the sauce over the duck and sprinkle with the chopped spring onion. Serve alongside the charred pineapple and egg fried rice.
