Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, five spice powder, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Score the skin of the duck breasts lightly and place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the duck breasts and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the duck is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a pot, combine the rice and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the duck breasts from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Keeping the skin dry helps it become crispy.
Heat vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the duck breasts, skin side down, in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the duck breasts and then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the duck is cooked to your desired doneness.
Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve, divide the cooked rice among plates, place sliced duck on top, and garnish with chopped green onions.
