  • Make sure to let the duck rest after roasting to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.
  • For an extra flavorful twist, you can add some sliced ginger and garlic to the marinade.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover roast duck can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the duck in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the Cantonese Roast Duck as a main dish with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables, or use it as a filling for pancakes or buns.
