Step 1
Whisk peanut butter, lime juice, fish sauce, 2 tbsp water, and a pinch of sugar until smooth. Add more water if too thick.
Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until a wooden chopstick dipped in sizzles immediately, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Gently lay one rice paper sheet flat. Top with a small pinch each of herbs, cucumber, and carrot—don't overstuff.
Step 4
Roll the sheet tightly, folding in the sides like a burrito. Repeat with remaining sheets.
Step 5
Working in batches, slide rolls into hot oil and fry 60–90 seconds per side until they're golden brown and crackling.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
