Filling

Spring Roll Wrappers

Dipping Sauce

Oil for frying

Method

Prepare the Duck Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Duck

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the meat is medium rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Shred the Duck

    Once the duck has cooled slightly, shred the meat with two forks, discarding the skin. In a bowl, mix the shredded duck with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, carrot, cabbage, green onions, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Assemble Spring Rolls

  1. 3

    Prepare the Wrappers

    Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one point facing you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the duck filling in the center of the wrapper.

  2. 4

    Roll the Spring Roll

    Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly away from you to form a spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Spring Rolls

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fry the Spring Rolls

    Carefully place a few spring rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes until well combined. Set aside.
