Maria A’s Duck Mango Finger Rolls
CORNWALL PARK

My favourite picnic spot is
CORNWALL PARK
These are easy to make and transport but you need to cover them with a damp cloth so the rice rolls don’t dry out. I have been making them for years for our family trips to Cornwall Park. Take a cricket set and grab a spot under one of 8000 beautiful trees for a blissful afternoon.
What to prepare
-
8 rice paper wrappers
-
1 tbsp oyster or hoisin sauce, plus extra to dip
-
½ roast duck, shredded flesh only
-
2 mangos, flesh only, cut into finger sized slices
-
1 lime sliced into wedges
-
1 bunch watercress, coriander or your choice of greenage
-
1 bowl of dipping sauce of your choice
How to make them
-
Fill a large, shallow bowl with hot water. Wet a clean tea towel, squeeze out excess water and spread on a clean bench.
-
Dunk a rice paper wrapper into the water for 1-2 seconds, remove at once, shake off excess water and place on the damp tea towel. It will soften to a pliable texture.
-
Fold down the top third of the rice paper to create a straight edge. Spread a little oyster sauce vertically down the centre and lay a little duck on top, extending it a little above the folded top edge and leaving a third of the paper clear at the bottom.
-
Top with mango, greenage & a squeeze of lime.
-
Fold the bottom of the paper up to enclose the filling at the base, then roll up as tightly as you can from left to right.
-
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the rest of the rolls.
-
Serve with dipping sauce.
