Shredded duck spring rolls recipe
- 250 g (8.8oz) cooked, finely sliced or shredded skin-on duck
- 250 g (8.8oz) cooked, finely sliced root vegetables
- 500 ml (17.6fl oz) vegetable oil (plus 2-3 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp cornflour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster
- 1 tsp Chinese rice wine
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 20 pieces spring roll pastry, cut in half diagonally to make triangles
- 125 ml (4.4fl oz) plain flour
- 1 ramekin sweet and sour sauce
- Mix the duck and vegetables with 2-3 tbsp of oil in a wok over a low heat, add the minced garlic and season with the salt, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and Chinese rice wine.
- Add the cornflour and a tablespoon of sesame oil to help bind the mixture together and then leave to cool.
- When cool, wrap in a muslin cloth and rest in the fridge overnight.
- Layer one triangle of the pastry on top of another so its flush at the edges (the layers give it extra crunch) and put a heaped tablespoon of the duck and vegetable mixture in the centre and fold to the shape/size preferred.
- Seal the edges of the roll with a mixture of the plain flour and 125ml of water, this acts as a glue to keep the spring roll together.
- Heat a wok over a high heat and pour in the 500ml of oil.
- Heat the oil and test with a small piece of the spring roll pastry, which will crisp and turn golden within seconds when ready.
- Carefully lower the spring rolls in small batches into the oil and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown.
- Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
- Plate the spring rolls and serve immediately.
