Char Siu Duck

Method

1. Combine soy sauce, erythritol, five-spice, and minced garlic in a bowl to create the char siu marinade.
2. Score the duck breast skin in a crosshatch pattern, then submerge it in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat, place the duck breast skin-side down, and sear for 6 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
4. Flip the duck breast, brush generously with the remaining marinade, and transfer the pan to an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F).
5. Roast the duck breast for 25 minutes, brushing with marinade once halfway through, until the glaze is deeply caramelized and the meat is cooked through.
6. Transfer the duck breast to a cutting board, rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with any remaining pan juices drizzled over the top.
