Ingredients

• 2 confited duck legs
• 16 brick sheets (phyllo or spring roll wrappers)
• 8 Paris mushrooms
• 2 shallots
• 3 cilantro sprigs
• 2 green onions
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce (nuoc-mam)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Juice of half a lime
• 1 teaspoon chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
• 1 pinch of sugar
• Neutral oil and/or sesame oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the sauce:
   • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, chopped herbs, the minced garlic clove, lime juice, a teaspoon of oil, and a pinch of sugar. Stir well to mix.
2. Prepare the filling:
   • Finely chop the shallots and dice the mushrooms very small.
   • In a pan over low heat, brown the confited duck legs, removing as much fat as possible. Shred the meat off the bone and set aside.
   • In the same pan, sauté the chopped shallots and mushrooms until golden brown.
   • Add the shredded duck to the shallot and mushroom mixture along with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and one diced green onion. Mix well.
3. Fill the spring rolls:
   • Take a brick sheet and place a small amount of filling at one end. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to seal.
4. Cooking the spring rolls:
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
   • Place the prepared spring rolls on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Cut the spring rolls in half and serve them with the prepared sauce for dipping.

Notes

Ensure the duck leg is well shredded to make wrapping easier and evenly distribute the filling throughout each roll.

Recipe Tips

For an extra flavor infusion, let the filling cool slightly before wrapping to preserve its moisture without making the pastry soggy.
