Step 1
Pat duck skin dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut the meat.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Place duck skin-side down and cook without moving for 8 minutes until skin is golden and fat renders.
Step 3
Flip duck and sear meat side 3 minutes until browned. Transfer to a cutting board and rest 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat from the skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Simmer 1 minute until glaze thickens slightly.
Step 6
Slice duck against the grain. Drizzle with glaze and serve over warm rice.
