Chinese roast duck with ginger and shiitake rice

1.Preheat oven to 200C. Combine rice, white part of spring onions, ginger, star anise, soy sauce and 1 litre boiling water in a wide saucepan and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes.

2.Remove lid, scatter shiitake mushrooms over rice, then lay over bok choy and spring onion greens. Cover and cook until vegetables are steamed and rice is al dente (4-5 minutes).

3.Meanwhile, for five-spice salt, dry-roast five-spice in a small saucepan until fragrant (1-2 minutes), then combine in a small bowl with salt, set aside.

4.Place duck pieces, skin-side up, on an oven tray lined with baking paper and roast until warmed through and skin is crisp (6-8 minutes), then cut into large pieces. Serve with ginger and shiitake rice, greens, five-spice salt and hoisin sauce, if desired.
