Then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place duck in a baking pan or dutch oven fitted with a rack to raise the duck slightly up from the bottom of the pan and roast for 1 hour 40 minutes.
Check half way through to baste with more sauce.
When time is up, check to see if it has reached a temp. of 165 degrees. If not, then return to oven for another 15-20 minutesand check again.
Continue until it has reached temperature.
Remove from oven and place the duck on a large cutting board with tin foil over it to rest for a 20 minutes

Add the onions and duck and sauté until browned and slightly crispy.
Add the day old rice to the pan and stir well.
Add the rest of your vegetables to the pan and cover to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Combine all of your sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Add the mixture the pan and mix to combine well, cook for another 2-3 minutes, then make a well in the center of your pan for the egg.
Add the egg to the well and quickly stir into the rice until it's cooked.

Assembly
Plate the rice using 3-4” a round stainless steel serving rings, or scoop into a nice mound on each plate.
Slice your warmed duck into thin pieces onto each plate surrounding the rice and drizzle with a bit of the leftover warm Au jus from the pan of roasted duck or a bit of hoisin sauce.

Recipe Note
* The duck can be prepared the day before, then reheated slightly to cut down on the total cook time on the day of dinner party.
* This fried rice is easily made with variations with chicken, Korean BBQ Pork, or vegetarian by omitting the meats and subbing fish sauce with coconut aminos.
