Wash the duck breasts and pat dry. Then, using a very sharp knife, score the skin and fat in diamond shapes. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Marinate the duck breasts thoroughly with the three spices and then sear them on both sides in a hot frying pan. Five minutes on the skin side and another five minutes on the meat side. Place the two duck breasts in a casserole dish and add some duck fat from the pan and a small cup of water. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Add the diced onions to the remaining duck fat and brown them. Then add the flour and sauté until browned. Deglaze this sauce with the stock, simmer everything for another 10 minutes over low heat, add the soy sauce, and finally season to taste. Remove the breasts from the oven, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes, then serve. Serve with red cabbage or a variety of vegetables, potatoes, or dumplings.
