The Method

1
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded Peking duck, plum sauce, and sliced scallions. Mix well to ensure all the duck is coated with the plum sauce.
2
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the Peking duck mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to form a spring roll.
4
Brush the final edge of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal it completely.
5
Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining wrappers and filling.
6
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
7
Carefully place the spring rolls into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8
Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Serve immediately with extra plum sauce for dipping, if desired.

Chef's Tips

If you don't have cooked Peking duck, you can use roasted duck or substitute with another protein like pulled pork or shredded chicken, adjusting the sauce accordingly.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. Test with a small piece of wrapper first.

For a healthier option, you can bake the spring rolls. Brush them with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Spring rolls can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to fry. However, frying them immediately will yield the best results.
