ingredients
4 ounces whole-wheat vermicelli rice noodles
8 spring roll wrappers
1 avocado thinly sliced
0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
1.5 cup carrot cut into matchsticks
0.75 cup cucumber cut into matchsticks

2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
directions
Step 1
Pour boiling water over vermicelli rice noodles and soak 15 minutes. Drain and rinse. Divide into 8 equal portions. Fill a wide, shallow bowl with cool water. Working with one spring-roll wrapper at a time, soak until pliable, 20 seconds. Transfer to a flat surface and smooth.
Step 2
Place a layer of fillings on bottom third of wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Top with a portion of noodles and another layer of fillings.
Step 3
Fold bottom of wrapper tightly over fillings.
Step 4
Roll over once, tuck in sides, and finish rolling. Transfer roll to a plate and cover with a slightly damp paper towel. Repeat to make 8 summer rolls. Serve immediately with dipping sauce, or refrigerate, up to 2 hours.
Step 5
For the dipping sauce, combine 2 packets of hot mustard sauce and 4 packets of duck sauce. Stir and dip away!
