Steps

1. 1

   Boil the noodles in a pot of water until they are tender, following the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. Gently dry them with paper towels before transferring them to a bowl. Combine the noodles with mint and 1 tablespoon of honey, tossing everything together evenly.

2. 2

   Prepare the dipping sauce by combining 3 tablespoons of honey with 1 tablespoon of water, lime juice, and chili powder. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

3. 3

   Start by soaking a single wrapper in warm water until it softens, which should take around 30 seconds. Once softened, carefully lift it out and place it on your work surface. Next, arrange kiwi slices, noodles, and peanuts at one end of the wrapper in equal portions. Fold over the ends of the wrapper and roll it tightly to encase the filling completely. To prevent them from drying out, cover the rolls with a damp kitchen cloth as you continue making more rolls.
