1. Begin by marinating the vegan chicken strips. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and add to the mixture. Toss in the vegan chicken strips and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. While the vegan chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and prepare the mint leaves and cilantro sprigs.
3. To prepare the dipping sauce, mix 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of sriracha, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
4. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Remove and lay it out on a flat surface, such as a cutting board.
5. Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom third of the rice paper. Add a few strips of marinated vegan chicken, carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper on top. Add a slice of avocado, 2 mint leaves, and a sprig of cilantro.
6. Begin folding the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, tucking it tightly. Fold in the sides and roll up to form a neat cylinder. Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling ingredients.
7. Serve the rolls fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your Vegan Chicken Rice Paper Rolls!
