Prepare the vegetables: Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado, and thinly slice the red cabbage.
Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to package instructions, usually by soaking them in hot water for a few minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Add water to achieve desired consistency. Mix well and set aside.
Fill a shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for about 5 seconds, until it's soft but still slightly firm. Lay it on a clean surface.
Start layering the fillings on the bottom third of the rice paper: Add a small amount of cooked vermicelli noodles, a few strips of each vegetable, a slice of avocado, a couple of mint leaves, and a few cilantro leaves.
To roll, fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Try to keep the roll as tight as possible and seal by pressing gently.
Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper rolls.
Serve the rice paper rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
