For the Spring Rolls:

- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh bean sprouts

Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, lime juice, and soy sauce. Add Sriracha sauce if you want it spicy. Set aside.
- Prepare the Rice Paper Wrappers:
- Fill a large bowl with warm water.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15 seconds or until it becomes pliable.
- Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface, like a plate or a damp kitchen towel.
- Assemble the Spring Rolls:
- Start by placing a lettuce leaf in the center of the wrapper.
- Add a small handful of cooked vermicelli noodles over the lettuce.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken, julienned cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, bean sprouts, fresh mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
- Roll the Spring Rolls:
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling.
- Begin rolling from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Roll tightly but gently to avoid tearing the wrapper.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve:
- Slice each spring roll in half diagonally.
- Serve with the prepared dipping sauce.
