Ingredients

• 1 whole Duckling (approximately 3-4 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons Black tea leaves
• 2 tablespoons Raw jasmine rice
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Star anise
• 1 teaspoon Five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Green onions (for garnish)
• 4 slices Orange slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.

Step 2

Rub the duckling inside and out with the kosher salt, ground black pepper, and five-spice powder.

Step 3

Place the duckling in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the skin and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 4

Line the bottom of your stovetop smoker or wok with two layers of aluminum foil.

Step 5

In the center of the foil, mix together the black tea leaves, jasmine rice, brown sugar, and star anise.

Step 6

Set a wire rack over the tea-smoking mixture, ensuring there is enough room for the duckling to sit above the smoking mixture, and preheat the smoker on medium heat for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Take the marinated duckling out of the refrigerator and place it breast-side up on the wire rack.

Step 8

Cover the smoker tightly with a lid or more foil to seal in the smoke. Reduce the heat to low and allow the duck to smoke for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After smoking, transfer the duckling to a baking sheet and brush it with any remaining marinade.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and roast the smoked duckling for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.

Step 11

Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with chopped green onions and orange slices. Serve warm and enjoy!
