- 1 carrot, finely sliced
- 2 tsp root ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 75g mangetout, thinly sliced
- 175g beansprouts
- 25g sesame seeds
- 1 lemon (zest & juice)
- 1 lime (zest & juice)
- 1 orange (zest & juice)
Barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200g peppers, de-seeded and finely diced
- 25g sesame seeds
- 25g cayenne pepper
- 1 small red chilli, finely chopped
- 4 shallots, small dice
- 20g honey
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 275ml chicken stock
Spring rolls
- 4 spring roll sheets
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Method
- Start with the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a wok and add peppers, sesame seeds, shallots, cayenne and chilli. Cover and sweat over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Next, add the honey, red wine vinegar, balsamic and chicken stock and bring to the boil. Gently simmer until reduced by half and remove from heat. Transfer to a jug and keep warm.
- Start the filling by cleaning and drying the wok. Place on a medium to light heat and add the duck. When the fat starts to render, remove the duck from the wok with a slotted spoon and wipe the wok clean.
- Heat the sesame oil in the wok and add the peppers, carrot, chilli, grated ginger and soy sauce. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the garlic, mangetout, beansprouts, sesame seeds, citrus zest and juice and heat until the duck is cooked through. Combine well and transfer into a bowl, wipe the wok clean.
- Heat the deep fryer or large pot of oil to 180°C.
- Lightly brush the spring roll wrappers with the beaten egg. Spoon the stir-fried mixture into the centre of each one and roll up, tucking in the ends before you make the final layer.
- Deep-fry the spring rolls until golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen roll. Serve immediately with the barbecue sauce.
