03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
→ Vegetables & Herbs
06 - 1 small carrot, julienned
07 - 1/2 cucumber, julienned

10 - 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
11 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
→ Wrapping
12 - 8 rice paper wrappers
13 - Warm water for soaking wrappers
→ Dipping Sauce
14 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
15 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
16 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
17 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
18 - 1 teaspoon grated ginger
19 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
20 - 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined and uniform in color.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour half the egg mixture, swirling to create a thin even layer. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until just set, then transfer to cutting board. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
03 - Let omelettes cool for 5 minutes, then cut into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide.
04 - Julienne carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into uniform matchsticks. Wash and dry spinach, mint, and cilantro leaves thoroughly.
05 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable but not fragile. Transfer to a damp kitchen towel.
06 - Arrange omelette strips, julienned vegetables, spinach, mint, and cilantro along the bottom third of wrapper. Fold bottom edge over filling, fold in sides, then roll tightly away from you to seal completely.
07 - Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves completely.
08 - Slice spring rolls diagonally in half if desired. Arrange on serving platter with dipping sauce on the side. Serve immediately for best texture.
# Expert advice:
01 -
- The contrast between warm, silky eggs and crisp, cold vegetables makes every bite interesting
- You can prep everything ahead and assemble them right before serving, which makes you look effortless
02 -
- Rice paper continues to soften as it sits, so if you're not serving right away, cover the finished rolls with damp paper towels
- Don't overload each wrapper or it will tear when you try to fold it, and aim for about two tablespoons of filling per roll
03 -
- Cut the omelettes into strips while they're still slightly warm, they slice cleaner than when fully cold
- Double the dipping sauce recipe and keep extra in the fridge, it's fantastic on salads and grain bowls
