Stuffing wild game and cheese in a fried egg roll wrapper was one of my first, and best, attempts at cooking wild game. In 2012, I was finishing up my senior year in college and also started learning how to hunt . I came up with this recipe after a work trip to Philadelphia where I tasted the Philly cheesesteak egg roll at the Continental Mid-Town. I thought it was a stroke of genius, and when I returned home, quickly went to work recreating the dish with wild duck.
Fried Duck Egg Rolls Recipe Yield: 6 egg rolls Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes
Main Ingredients:
½ lb. of wild duck breasts 1 tbs. olive oil 2 green onions, white and light green parts chopped ¼ cup onion, thinly sliced 3-4 splashes of Worcestershire sauce Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste Egg roll wrappers Provolone cheese slices 1 egg, beaten Frying oil Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
¾ cup ketchup Tabasco sauce , to taste½ tsp. ground mustard 2 tbs. brown sugar Cooking Directions:
Thinly shave duck breasts against the grain and set aside. Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and sauté sliced onion and a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shaved duck breast and green onion, and sauté until the meat is browned. Add 3-4 splashes of Worcestershire, salt, and pepper, to taste. Drain the mixture of all liquids and allow to cool. Lay 1 egg roll wrap on a clean, dry surface, with one corner directly pointing at you. Place 1 cheese slice in the middle and then some of the cooled duck mixture horizontally across the cheese slice. Tightly fold up the corner closest to you over the filling. Lightly brush beaten egg onto the two side corners and fold them in, making sure everything is neat and tight. Brush the top corner of the wrap with egg, and then roll up and seal the egg roll. Repeat and set assembled egg rolls aside covered with a tea towel. Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a saucepan to 350° Fahrenheit, just enough so the egg rolls don't touch the bottom of the pan. Fry egg rolls (in batches) on both sides until browned, about 1 minute each side. Drain on paper towels. Combine dipping sauce ingredients and serve egg rolls warm.
