Step 1
Cook vermicelli in boiling water until just tender, ~3 minutes. Drain and cool.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and 3 tbsp water.
Step 3
Toss cooked vermicelli, carrots, cabbage, and mint in a large bowl with 1 tbsp of the sauce mixture.
Step 4
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet in water 2 seconds until pliable.
Step 5
Lay wrapper on a damp towel. Place 2 tbsp filling in the center; fold sides in, then roll tightly.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until all spring rolls are formed.
Step 7
Heat oil in a deep pot or wok to 350°F. Test with a wooden skewer—bubbles should rise steadily.
Step 8
Fry spring rolls in batches of 4, turning once, until deep golden, ~3 minutes total. Don't crowd.
Step 9
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with dipping sauce alongside.
