Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrots, slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and cabbage.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions.
Pan-fry the tofu with a little oil until golden and crispy.
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, and garlic. Thin with water as needed.
Soften the rice paper by dipping it in warm water for 5-10 seconds. Lay flat on a damp towel.
Layer a few slices of each vegetable, noodles, herbs, and tofu in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the sides over, then roll tightly. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Chill the rolls for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice each roll in half and serve with peanut sauce, garnished with crushed peanuts.

Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent tearing.
Chill the rolls before serving for better flavor melding.
Adjust the peanut sauce to your taste by adding more lime juice or honey.
