Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Clean the duck and remove any excess fat. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and Chinese five-spice powder. Rub the mixture all over the duck, making sure to coat it evenly. Let the duck marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the marinated duck on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast the duck for 2 hours, or until the skin is golden and crispy.
Step 3: Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the thin pancakes in a steamer or microwave. Slice the cucumber and spring onions.
Step 4: To serve, place a pancake on a plate. Spread a thin layer of hoisin sauce on the pancake. Add a few slices of duck, cucumber, and spring onions. Roll up the pancake and enjoy.
