Prepare all your vegetables. Julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and shred the purple cabbage. Set them aside in small bowls.
Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine tamari, lime juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and water. Mix well. Sprinkle in sesame seeds if desired.
Fill a large shallow dish or a wide bowl with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and fully submerge it in the water for 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable, then remove and place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
On the bottom third of the softened rice paper wrapper, layer a butter lettuce leaf, a small portion of vermicelli noodles, a small handful of carrots, cucumbers, red bell peppers, purple cabbage, and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper tightly over the fillings, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly like a burrito. Place the completed spring roll seam-side down on a plate to keep it secure.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings until all spring rolls are assembled.
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce or refrigerate the assembled spring rolls for up to 2 hours. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep them fresh.
