Start by preparing the spicy peanut sauce. In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sriracha, minced garlic, and water. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Prepare all the vegetables by washing them thoroughly. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado and set aside.
Set up a large bowl of warm water to soak the rice paper wraps. Dip one rice paper wrap into the water for about 10-15 seconds until soft, then place it on a damp kitchen towel or a cutting board.
Layer with half a leaf of lettuce, a small amount of vermicelli noodles, a few slices of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, 2 mint leaves, and 2 cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to close. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper wraps and filling ingredients.
Serve the fresh rice wraps immediately with the spicy peanut sauce on the side.
