Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with finely chopped lemongrass, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir to coat the chicken in the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, boil water and soak vermicelli noodles for 2 minutes until translucent. Drain, rinse in cold water, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, hoisin sauce, vinegar, splash of milk, and grated garlic. Whisk until smooth, adjusting with more milk if necessary.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with canola oil. Cook marinated chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Let cool and slice thinly.
- Hydrate rice paper by dipping each sheet in warm water for 2-3 seconds until pliable. Lay on a clean cutting board.
- Assemble rolls by placing cilantro, slices of chicken, vermicelli noodles, cabbage, and carrots on the bottom third of each rice paper. Fold sides and roll tightly.
- Serve assembled rolls with dipping sauce on the side, either whole or halved for easy eating.

Notes
These rolls are best served immediately; if making ahead, wrap individually to retain freshness. Feel free to experiment with fillings such as shrimp or tofu.
