Step 1
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper into water for 3 seconds until pliable.
Step 2
Lay the softened rice paper on a clean counter. Arrange 2 tbsp carrots, 3-4 cucumber matchsticks, and 1 mint leaf in a horizontal line near the bottom, leaving 1 inch on each side.
Step 3
Fold the left and right edges of the rice paper inward, then roll tightly toward you until the filling is wrapped. Place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Step 4
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until a wooden spoon handle inserted produces steady bubbles, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully slide 2 spring rolls into the oil. Fry 90 seconds per side until deep golden and edges look crispy.
Step 6
Transfer fried rolls to a paper towel–lined plate. Repeat with remaining spring rolls in two batches.
Step 7
Whisk soy sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl. Serve spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce.
