1 None duck (about 3 3/4 lbs)
1 tbsp peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 oz piece ginger, peeled, 1/2 inch piece grated, remainder thinly sliced
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1/4 tsp five spice powder

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Place the duck in a roasting pan and cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour or until tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cut the duck in half lengthways and remove and discard the rib and back bones.
2
Combine the oil, garlic, grated ginger, chili sauce and five spice powder in small bowl and mix well. Place the duck in a shallow dish and brush with the spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
3
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Place duck, skin side up, on a wire rack over a baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for about 45 mins or until the skin is crisp.
4
Meanwhile, make the ginger sauce: Place the stock, whole orange and sliced ginger in a medium saucepan and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 mins or until the liquid is reduced to about 1 2/3 cups. Strain, discard solids and return sauce to the pan. Stir together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water until a smooth paste forms. Add the sugar, scallion and cornstarch mixture to the ginger sauce and bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened slightly.
5
Pour the ginger sauce over the duck. Serve with bean sprouts, baby spinach, scallions and cilantro.
