Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 100 grams Vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup Red cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions
Prepare the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be your dipping sauce.
Set up your workstation with a clean surface and a large bowl of warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.
Immerse one rice paper wrapper in the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until it becomes pliable. Remove and lay it flat on your working surface.
In the lower third of the wrapper, place a small handful of noodles, followed by the julienned carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, shredded cabbage, a few slices of avocado, and a small amount of mint, cilantro, and basil leaves.
Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling and then, starting from the bottom, roll the wrapper up tightly, making sure to seal the roll nicely.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
Serve the summer rolls fresh with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
