Soak rice papers in lukewarm water 5 minutes. Blot each sheet (they will be sticky).

To assemble:
Leave 1 inch uncovered on the edge closest to you. Place 1 lettuce leaf on the sheet. Cover with a portion of vermicelli, then 3 shrimp halves, 2 pork slices, 2 mint leaves and some carrots. Fold wrapper once over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly to the end. Keep rolls covered with a damp towel.

Peanut Dipping Sauce

3 ounces unsalted roasted peanuts
1 large clove garlic, peeled, minced
1 Thai chili, seeded, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce (patis)
1 tablespoon sugar

Chop 1 tablespoon of the peanuts; grind the rest. Stir-fry garlic and chilies in oil over medium heat, 5 minutes. Add ground peanuts and stir until they release some of their oil, about 5 minutes.
