Steps

Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and cool them.
Cut the cucumbers into thin strips and arrange the carrots, lettuce, herbs, and noodles nearby.
Stir the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, ginger, and hot water into a smooth sauce.
Stir the granulated sugar, hot water, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil into a second sauce.
Soak one wrapper in warm water for 10 seconds, then lay it flat on a clean surface.
Place lettuce, noodles, carrots, cucumber, and herbs across the wrapper, then fold and roll it tightly.
