Ingredients

• 2 duck breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 0.5 cucumber, julienned
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 12 rice paper wrappers
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
• 0.5 cup hoisin sauce (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Score the duck breast skin in a crisscross pattern and season with a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold, oven-safe skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip the duck breast and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the duck for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make a marinade.

Step 6

Toss the sliced duck in the marinade and let it sit for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 7

Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the green onions, and pick the cilantro leaves.

Step 8

Fill a shallow bowl or pie dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until pliable. Place the wrapper on a clean surface or damp kitchen towel.

Step 9

In the center of the wrapper, place a small portion of sliced duck, carrots, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the wrapper inward and tightly roll it up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 11

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the spring rolls in batches, 2-3 at a time, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Step 12

Serve the duck spring rolls warm alongside sweet chili sauce and hoisin sauce for dipping.
