This is definitely an occasional treat, as duck is very rich in fats and texture. This is a variation of a recipe given me by a Laotian friend. She grows her own herbs and spices but I have just chosen to use five spice powder, standard hoisin and soy sauce. Feel free to experiment with the spices.
