Wash and prep the vegetables. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Shred the purple cabbage finely.
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
Set up your rolling station with a clean damp towel on a flat surface, a bowl of warm water to soften the rice paper, and your prepared vegetables, rice noodles, and herbs nearby.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds, then place it onto the damp towel.
In the lower third of the rice paper, layer a small amount of mint, cilantro, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, and a pinch of rice noodles.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and tightly roll it up. Repeat for the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings.
To make the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, water, and sesame seeds in a small bowl until smooth.
Serve the veggie spring rolls fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
