Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until just softened but still slightly firm; place it flat on a clean surface.
2. Step 2: Arrange 2 tbsp cooked rice vermicelli noodles, 2 tbsp julienned carrot, 2 tbsp julienned cucumber, 2 tbsp julienned red bell pepper, 1 tsp fresh mint leaves, and 1 tsp fresh cilantro leaves in the center third of the wrapper.
3. Step 3: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling, creating a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp honey, and 2 tbsp warm water until smooth and creamy.
5. Step 5: Serve the rice paper rolls chilled or at room temperature with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
