Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cups Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves
• 6 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 minced Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool, and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchstick strips. Do the same with the cucumber and bell pepper. Thinly slice the avocado and set aside.

Step 3

Wash and pat dry the fresh mint, cilantro, and basil leaves. Remove any tough stems as needed.

Step 4

Layers of lettuce can be torn into smaller pieces to fit the rice paper wrappers and set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the peanut dipping sauce in a small bowl: Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Fill a large bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable. Remove and lay it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or surface.

Step 7

Layer the fillings: Place a few pieces of lettuce, noodles, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and herbs centrally on the wrapper.

Step 8

Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 9

Arrange the finished spring rolls on a serving platter. Serve them fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
