Ingredients
  

10 rice paper sheets

1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 cup lettuce leaves (Bibb or romaine)

¼ cup chopped scallions

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Dipping Sauce:

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon peanut butter

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a splash of water if needed. Set aside.

    Soak Rice Paper Sheets: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for about 15-20 seconds, until pliable. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface or a damp kitchen towel.

      Layer the Fillings: In the center of the soaked rice paper, start layering your fillings. Begin with a small amount of cooked vermicelli noodles, then add shredded carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, a few slices of avocado, and top with mint, basil, lettuce, and scallions. Be careful not to overfill.

        Roll It Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the fillings, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to create a sealed roll. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling ingredients.

          Serve: Arrange the rice paper rolls on a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
