Wash and trim the duck breast, and pat dry. Lightly cut diamond-shaped incisions on the skin-side of the duck breast at intervals of approximately 1 cm and steam in the steamer for approximately 20 minutes. Then pat dry. Mix together the cornstarch, five-spice powder, soy sauce, and water and brush the duck breast with it. Let it dry for 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a deep pan until very hot and fry the duck breast for approximately 2-3 minutes until crispy. Then drain the fat on kitchen paper. Serve with any side dish.
