# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined in a bowl.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in half the egg mixture to form a thin omelette. Cook 2–3 minutes until just set, then transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
03 - Let omelettes cool slightly, then slice each into thin strips.
04 - Julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Rinse and pat dry spinach, mint, and cilantro leaves.
05 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in water for 10–15 seconds until soft but not mushy.
06 - Lay softened wrapper on a damp kitchen towel. Place omelette strips, vegetables, and herbs along bottom third of wrapper. Fold bottom edge over filling, fold in sides, and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
07 - Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir until well blended.
08 - Arrange spring rolls on a serving platter with dipping sauce on the side. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The contrast between silky omelette strips and snappy fresh vegetables keeps every bite interesting
- You can prep everything ahead and assemble at the last minute for stressfree entertaining
02 -
- Rice paper continues to soften as it sits, so roll these just before serving rather than hours ahead
- Work on a damp towel while rolling, since dry surfaces can cause the wrappers to stick and tear
03 -
- Stack finished rolls on a plate lined with a damp paper towel, covering them with another damp towel to prevent drying out
- Cut rolls in half on the diagonal just before serving to show off the beautiful layers inside
