Prepare the duck breast by seasoning it and cooking it until crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side.

Let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Mix hoisin sauce with a splash of lime juice in a bowl.

Soak rice paper wrappers in warm water until pliable, about 10-15 seconds.

Lay the soaked wrapper on a clean surface and place a lettuce leaf in the center.

Add a few slices of duck, cucumber, carrot, green onions, cilantro, and mint on top of the lettuce.

Drizzle with the hoisin-lime mixture.

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Serve spring rolls with soy sauce and sesame oil for dipping.
