Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Pat the goose dry, then rub five-spice powder, salt, and white pepper evenly into the skin and cavity, massaging well for flavor penetration.

  2. 2

    Stir together soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and honey, and brush the mixture generously over the goose skin. Let air-dry uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to achieve maximum crispiness.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the goose breast-side up on a rack over a roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes to set the skin.

  4. 4

    Lower the oven to 325°F and continue roasting for 2 to 2.5 hours, basting every 30 minutes with pan drippings. If skin darkens too quickly, tent loosely with foil.

  5. 5

    While the goose roasts, cook jasmine rice according to package instructions. Slice cucumbers and cut scallions into thin strips for garnish.

  6. 6

    Allow the cooked goose to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving to keep the meat juicy.

  7. 7

    Serve carved goose over steamed rice, accompanied by plum sauce, scallions, and cucumber slices.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that gives this Rice with Roast Goose its signature flavor?
The star ingredient is the whole goose, marinated with a lavish rub of five-spice powder, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Five-spice powder infuses the meat with aromatic complexity, while the goose itself provides an unmatched richness and crisp skin, essential to the dish's identity.
Q. What’s the most important cooking tip for getting crispy goose skin?
It’s crucial to let the seasoned goose air-dry uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before roasting. This step removes surface moisture, allowing the skin to become shatteringly crisp in the oven. Also, start with a high oven temperature to set the skin, then lower to finish cooking evenly.
Q. How can I prevent the goose from drying out or being tough?
Let the goose rest for at least 15 minutes after roasting to retain juices and tenderness. Basting every 30 minutes while roasting also helps keep the meat moist, and using a lower temperature after the initial high heat ensures a juicy, evenly cooked result.
Q. What’s the nutrition breakdown per serving of this dish?
Each serving contains 740 kcal, with 64g carbohydrates (35% of calories), 44g protein (24%), and 34g fat (41%). This makes it protein-rich and suitable for special occasions where a balanced macronutrient profile is desired.
