Mix Chinese five-spice with salt and pepper, rub all over the duck, then roast breast-side down for an hour. Remove the tray, spoon out the fat, strain, and cool.

Serve with noodles: boil pak choi, sugar snaps, and noodles for 4 minutes. Toss with chilli, sesame oil, lime juice, and coriander. Serve with the duck.
