Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.
- Sprinkle the duck breasts with salt and cook in the oven for 40 minutes until cooked. Once cooked allow to cool for a few minutes then shred the meat off the bone and set aside.
- In a pan over a medium heat, add the plums, soy, water, cinnamon, star-anise and five spice, chili flakes, garlic and honey. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer, cooking for 15-20 minutes until thick and sticky.
- To assemble the spring rolls, fold a sheet of filo pastry in half and at the bottom of the sheet arrange the duck, carrot, bean sprouts and spring onion into a small bundle.
- Brush the pastry with butter on all sides, bring the sides in and roll up into a spring roll, securing with more butter if needed. Lightly brush the spring rolls with butter and place onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately with the plum sauce.
