Duck Sticks

• 1 small carrot, chopped
• 1/2 onion, quartered
• 1/4 cup peeled and chopped daikon radish
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 duck legs
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
• 1/4 cup grape seed, corn, or other neutral oil, plus more for frying
• 2 scallions, trimmed and minced
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
• Four 8-inch square egg roll wrappers, cut in half
• 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons water

1. Put the carrot, onion, daikon, and garlic in a food processor.
2. Pulse until diced small.
3. In a large bowl, season the duck legs with salt, then cover with the vegetable mixture and five-spice powder.
4. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
5. Preheat the oven to 200F.
6. Put the duck legs in a roasting pan, skin side up, and cook for 8 hours, or until very soft.
7. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, then remove the skin and bones, reserving the rendered fat.
8. Mix 1/4 cup of the reserved fat with the oil, duck meat, scallions, pickled ginger, and soy sauce.
9. Put an eighth of the duck meat mixture in a line lengthwise in the center of an egg roll wrapper.
10. Brush a little egg wash around the edges of the wrapper.
11. Fold in the sides; then, starting from one end, roll up tightly.
12. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
13. Pour oil to a depth of at least 1 inch in a heavy, deep saucepan and heat to 350F.
14. Add the duck sticks and cook until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally for even browning.
15. Do not overcrowd; work in batches if necessary.
16. Drain on paper towels and serve.
