Servings: persons

12 thin sheets rice paper (or spring-roll skins)
1/4 pound rice vermicelli, soaked in hot water until tender (5 to 10 minutes) and drained
2 cups thinly sliced leftover chicken
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn into large pieces
6 scallions (white and green parts), trimmed, cut in half lengthwise if thick, then crosswise into 2-inch lengths
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, shredded
1/2 cup peanut butter (preferably natural)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Thai chili paste or 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup water

1
1 Fill a large bowl with cold water.
2
Immerse 1 piece of rice paper in the water for about 5 seconds.
3
Set on a clean dish towel on a large work space and let rest until pliable, about 20 seconds; if its still tough, using your fingers, spread a little more water over it.
4
Top the rice paper with a small handful of noodles, some of the chicken, some mint, scallions, red pepper, and carrots.
5
Roll the rice paper away from you, tucking the edges into the center so the paper wraps the filling into a tight, rectangular bundle.
6
Set on a large platter and repeat with the remaining 11 sheets of rice paper and filling.
7
Place all the peanut sauce ingredients except the water in a food processor and process until combined.
8
With the machine running, add the water and process until smooth.
9
To serve, slice the rolls in half on the diagonal.
10
Set on a serving platter and serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
