   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Place slices of ginger inside the duck.
   • Set up a roasting pan with water and a rack. Ensure the duck is well above the water to avoid steaming.
   • Cook the duck in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 300°F (150°C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour.
   • Increase the heat to 375°F (190°C) again and roast until the skin is crisp and brown all over.

3. Serving:

   • Carve the duck at the table. Start by cutting away the skin in thin slices.
   • Serve the sliced skin with Mandarin pancakes, green onions, hoisin sauce, and cucumber slices.
   • To assemble, brush hoisin sauce onto a pancake, add a slice of green onion, some cucumber slivers, and the crispy duck skin. Roll it up and enjoy!
   • The remaining duck meat can be served separately with more Mandarin pancakes or quickly stir-fried with red and green sliced peppers and green onions.
