Roast Duck Rice Paper Rolls are easy to make and different fillings are only limited by your imagination. Rice paper wrappers are available in Asian shops, as are all the ingredients. Traditionally, they are filled with barbecued pork or roast duck, but sliced beef or seafood makes a light and delicious change. Make sure you ask for the duck ‘not chopped’.

 

Ingredients

  • 20 rice paper wrappers
  • 1/2 Chinese roast duck or barbecued pork, sliced
  • 2 lebanese cucumbers, shaved into fine slices or thin wedges
  • snow pea shoots
  • bean shoots
  • 1/2 cup hoisin or char siew sauce

Instructions

  1. To use the wrappers, simply soak them, one at a time for a minute or two in warm water so they become pliable.
  2. Lay flat on a clean dry tea towel and fill with a slice of duck or pork, lebanese cucumber, snow pea shoots, bean shoots and a teaspoon of hoisin or char siew sauce.
  3. Fold in the ends, roll up the wrapper and roll it over the filling to form a cylinder.
  4. Cut on the diagonal into two pieces.

Notes

Wine: The fuller flavours of these meats are best matched with a rose champagne or sparkling wine or even a sherry as an apertitif. Otherwise, pinot noir makes a classic match with duck.
