Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk peanut butter with lime juice and 3 tablespoons water until smooth and pourable. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Step 2

    Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into water for 3 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a damp surface.

  3. Step 3

    Layer a pinch of herbs, 2 tablespoons vermicelli, and 1 tablespoon cucumber in the center of the wrapper.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the bottom edge up, tuck in the sides, then roll tightly away from you until sealed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange rolls seam-side down on a plate. Serve immediately with peanut sauce on the side.
