METHOD
- Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line a baking dish with foil or baking paper.
- Rub combined salt, sugar, szechwan pepper and five spice over skin and cavity of duck. Place ginger, garlic and onion into cavity. Transfer to dish and bake 1½ hours, basting with juices every 20 minutes.
- Increase oven to very hot, 220°C. Bake a further 15-20 minutes, basting once, until skin is crisp and golden.
- Remove from oven and rest, covered loosely with foil, 15 minutes. Remove duck breast and remaining meat with skin attached. Slice thinly.
- DRESSING: In a small jug, whisk all ingredients together.
- SALAD: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Drizzle salad with half dressing, tossing to coat. Add duck and drizzle with remaining dressing to serve.
TOP TIP- Use a barbecued chicken in place of duck if preferred, or a Chinese barbecued duck.
- Try mango in place of orange.
