Ingredients
  

8 rice paper wrappers

1 medium cucumber, julienned

1 ripe mango, peeled and julienned

1 cup carrots, julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1/2 cup vermicelli noodles, cooked and cooled

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup crunchy peanuts, crushed (optional)

For the Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients listed. Ensure the vegetables, mango, and avocado are julienned or sliced as required. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, then rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

    Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Adjust ingredients to taste; you can add more peanut butter for creaminess or more vinegar for tanginess. Set aside.

      Soak the Rice Paper: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. One at a time, dip the rice paper wrappers into the water for about 10-15 seconds until they are soft and pliable. Lay the softened wrapper onto a clean, damp kitchen towel or flat surface.

        Fill the Summer Rolls: On the lower third of the rice paper wrapper, place a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a handful of cucumber, mango, carrots, bell pepper, avocado, mint leaves, cilantro, and crushed peanuts (if using). Be careful not to overfill.

          Roll Them Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling and then roll it tightly from the bottom, like a burrito, until it’s sealed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.

            Serve: Arrange the summer rolls on a serving platter. Serve with the dipping sauce drizzled with fresh cilantro for garnish.
