Ingredients

  • 1 whole goose, about 5-6 pounds
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons maltose or honey
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red fermented tofu (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the goose and pat dry with paper towels. Prick the skin all over with a fork, being careful not to pierce the meat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, soy sauce, five-spice powder, salt, sugar, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, honey, maltose, vinegar, sesame oil, and red fermented tofu (if using).
  4. Rub the marinade all over the goose, inside and out. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
  5. Place the goose on a rack in a roasting pan, breast side up. Roast for 30 minutes.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to roast for another 1 1/2 hours, basting the goose with the drippings every 20 minutes.
  7. Once the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), remove the goose from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
