These rolls are a healthier choice than their deep-fried counterparts. Coriander and mint give them a light, fresh flavour.

Ingredients
Sweet Thai Dipping Sauce:
Method
Sweet Thai Dipping Sauce: In saucepan, bring sugar, vinegar, 1/2 cup (125 mL) water, garlic, chilies and salt to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 cup (250 mL), 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.)In large bowl, cover noodles with boiling water; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and chill under cold water; drain and return to bowl. Using scissors, cut into thirds. Add carrots, cucumber, mint, coriander, vinegar and fish sauce; toss to combine. Peel and pit avocados; cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices.
Fill 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate with hot water. Dip each rice-paper wrapper into water until pliable, 5 to 10 seconds; pat dry on towel. Onto centre of each wrapper, spoon scant 1/4 cup (50 mL) noodle mixture; form into log shape. Top each with 1 slice avocado. Fold bottom then sides of wrapper over filling; roll into cylinder. Place on damp towel–lined baking sheet; cover with damp towel to prevent drying out. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 6 hours.) Serve with dipping sauce.
