04 - 1/8 tsp black pepper
05 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil

12 - 8 rice paper wrappers
13 - Warm water, for soaking wrappers
→ Dipping Sauce
14 - 3 tbsp soy sauce
15 - 2 tbsp rice vinegar
16 - 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
17 - 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
18 - 1 tsp grated ginger
19 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
20 - 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in half the egg mixture to create a thin omelette. Cook for 2–3 minutes until just set, then transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
03 - Allow omelettes to cool slightly, then cut each into thin strips.
04 - Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Wash and dry spinach, mint, and cilantro leaves.
05 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10–15 seconds until pliable but not overly soft.
06 - Place the softened wrapper on a damp kitchen towel. Arrange omelette strips, vegetables, and herbs along the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose.
07 - Repeat the soaking and rolling process with remaining wrappers and fillings until all ingredients are used.
08 - Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Whisk until well blended.
09 - Arrange spring rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
# Expert advice:
01 -
- The warm, tender eggs create such a comforting contrast against the crisp vegetables
- These come together in under 30 minutes but feel like something you would order at a restaurant
- Everyone gets to customize their own fillings, which makes them perfect for picky eaters
02 -
- Dry rice paper will crack and tear, so keep your water warm and work quickly once each wrapper is softened
- Overstuffing the rolls makes them impossible to roll tightly, so use less filling than you think you need
- The eggs must be completely cool before rolling, or they will make the rice paper soggy and fall apart
03 -
- Use a very sharp knife to slice the cooled omelettes, and you will get clean, even strips that look professional
- Line your work surface with a damp towel to prevent the rice paper from sticking and tearing as you roll
