Prepare rice vermicelli noodles by boiling them according to package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Cook the thinly sliced pork loin in a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Cool slightly.
Lay all the filling ingredients (cooked pork, shrimp, julienned carrots and cucumbers, mint leaves, cilantro, lettuce, and noodles) in separate bowls or plates for easy assembly.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-7 seconds and lay it flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
Near the center of the softened wrapper, place a small handful of rice noodles. On top, layer a piece of lettuce, a few julienned carrots and cucumbers, a cooked shrimp, a few slices of pork, and a sprig of mint and cilantro.
Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to the top to form a compact spring roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, hoison sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and water in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed for the desired consistency.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the peanut dipping sauce on the side, garnished with crushed peanuts if desired.
