Begin by preparing the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Usually, this involves soaking them in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are soaking, wash and peel the carrot. Cut the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin matchstick-sized strips.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice it into thin strips.
Prepare a clean surface and assemble the filling ingredients nearby.
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15 seconds to soften. Remove, letting excess water drip off, and place it flat on the clean surface.
In the center of the wrapper, place a small portion of rice vermicelli, followed by a few strips of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and avocado. Add a small handful of red cabbage, a few mint and basil leaves.
To roll, fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up, keeping the filling tight yet not tearing the wrapper.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
For the dipping sauce, mix the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir in sesame seeds.
Serve the vegetable rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
