Start by preparing the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
Meanwhile, julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado into thin wedges.
To make the peanut dipping sauce, mince the garlic clove and mix it with peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and warm water in a bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Working one at a time, submerge a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
Carefully lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
On the lower third of the wrapper, lay down a lettuce leaf, then arrange a small bundle of vermicelli noodles, a few strips of carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper, a slice of avocado, and 2 mint leaves, 2 cilantro leaves, and 1 Thai basil leaf.
To roll, fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll tightly but gently, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Once all the rolls are assembled, serve them fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
