Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Prepare all the vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber, shredding the purple cabbage, slicing the red bell pepper, and slicing the avocado.
Fill a shallow dish or a large plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens slightly but is still manageable.
Gently lay the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean surface (such as a cutting board or damp kitchen towel).
Near the bottom third of the wrapper, place a small handful of cooked rice noodles, followed by a bit of each prepared vegetable, a slice or two of avocado, and a few fresh mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the tamari, peanut butter, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Serve the spring rolls fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy immediately!
