Prepare the duck by cleaning and patting it dry.

Mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cooking wine in a bowl.

Brush the mixture over the duck, ensuring even coverage.

Stuff the duck with ginger, garlic, and scallions.

Hang the duck in a cool, dry place for several hours or overnight to dry the skin.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roast the duck in the oven for about 1 hour, basting occasionally.

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with cucumber slices and hoisin sauce for dipping.
