Instructions
Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Working one at a time, dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until it starts to soften. Remove from water and lay it flat on a clean surface.
Place 2 shrimp on the bottom third of the wrapper. Add a small amount of rice noodles, julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Top with leaf lettuce and a few leaves of mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the filling. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to create a compact roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
To make the dipping sauce, mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well to combine. If desired, top with crushed peanuts for extra texture.
Serve the prepared spring rolls with the sweet Asian chili dipping sauce on the side.
