Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded duck confit
  • Spring roll wrappers (rice paper or egg roll wrappers)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil) for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded duck confit, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, green onions, cilantro (if using), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  2. Set up your rolling station with spring roll wrappers, a damp cloth to keep them from drying out, and a bowl of warm water (for rice paper wrappers).
  3. Lay a wrapper flat. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  4. In a skillet, heat about 2 inches of neutral oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dipping a corner of a wrapper—if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
  5. Fry the spring rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk ½ cup hoisin sauce with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a splash of sesame oil. If you prefer extra tang, add a squeeze of lime juice.
  7. Serve the rolls warm with the hoisin sauce on the side. Garnish with extra cilantro or sesame seeds for an elegant touch.

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid tearing.’, ‘Keep rice paper wrappers moist with a damp cloth while rolling.’, ‘Monitor oil temperature to prevent burning or soggy rolls.’, ‘Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.’, ‘Practice rolling for better results; it gets easier with time.’]
