04 - 1 cup cucumber, julienned
05 - 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - Cut all vegetables and herbs according to specifications. Arrange prepared ingredients on a platter for streamlined assembly.
02 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable and soft. Transfer to a clean, damp kitchen towel.
03 - Layer lettuce, chicken, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and green onion along the bottom third of the softened wrapper in single layers.
04 - Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll upward like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings until complete.
05 - In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, warm water, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Whisk until smooth. Adjust water content for desired consistency.
06 - Present spring rolls whole or sliced in half with peanut sauce alongside for dipping. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
