Prepare Vegetables
Wash and cut all vegetables into thin strips or matchsticks. Cook and cool noodles if using.
Make the Peanut Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients. Add warm water to thin until desired consistency is reached.
Assemble the Rolls
Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 10–15 seconds until soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Arrange a small amount of each vegetable, avocado, herbs, and noodles (if using) in the center.
Roll Tightly
Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Serve
Slice rolls in half if desired. Serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
