Wraps
Egg Filling
- 4 large eggs (chicken or duck)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers)
Herbs and Sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- Low-sodium soy sauce, for serving
- 1–2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil) for frying
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and black pepper until fully combined. Optionally, fold in the finely chopped fresh vegetables to add crunch and flavor.
- Soften rice paper wrappers: Submerge each rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not overly soft to avoid tearing.
- Assemble wraps: Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the egg mixture onto the bottom third of the wrapper, then layer with fresh cilantro and mint leaves on top of the egg.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the egg and herbs securely within the wrapper.
- Fry the wraps: Heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy, carefully turning to cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve the crispy wraps warm, accompanied by low-sodium soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables to maintain a crunchy texture inside the wraps.
- Do not soak the rice paper wrappers too long to prevent them from becoming too fragile to roll.
- Cooking on medium heat ensures the egg cooks through while achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Customize fillings with other herbs such as basil or green onions for extra flavor.
- Can be made with duck eggs for a richer taste and texture.
- These wraps are best enjoyed immediately for maximum crispiness.
