Ingredients
  

8 rice paper wrappers

1 cup cooked vermicelli rice noodles

1 medium cucumber, julienned

1 ripe mango, julienned

1 large avocado, sliced

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

½ cup carrots, grated

¼ cup peanuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Dipping Sauce:

¼ cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 garlic clove, minced

A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: First, prepare all the fresh ingredients by washing and cutting them as indicated. Set aside.

    Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Place it on a clean surface.

      Layer the Filling: On the lower third of the rice paper, place about 2 tablespoons of cooked vermicelli noodles, followed by a few pieces of cucumber, mango, avocado, bell pepper, grated carrot, mint leaves, and cilantro. Be careful not to overfill.

        Roll It Up: Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the rice paper over the filling while tucking in the sides as you go to ensure nothing falls out. Continue rolling until sealed. Repeat with the remaining rice papers and fillings.

          Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth.

            Serve: Arrange the summer rolls on a platter and sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired. Serve with the dipping sauce.
