1 large carrot, julienned
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, vermicelli noodles, and fresh herbs. Toss with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 5–7 seconds until slightly softened.
Place softened rice paper on a damp surface. Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom center.
Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly upward to seal.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place rolls seam-side down and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Alternatively, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not oversoak rice paper to prevent tearing.
Cook immediately after rolling for best crispiness.
Avoid overcrowding the pan for even browning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in air fryer or skillet to restore crispiness.
Freeze uncooked rolls for up to 2 months and cook directly from frozen.
