Clean the pork belly by scrubbing it down with a bit of salt and then rinse under cold running water.
Add water (just enough to cover pork) and salt to a small pot and bring to a boil. Add pork and cook for 35-45 Minutes minutes or until inserted chopstick goes in smoothly and juices run clear.
Remove pork, rinse, pat dry and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing thinly. Set aside.
To the pot that was used to boil the pork, add shrimp. Cook on medium high until shrimp turns opaque. Remove from pot and rinse thoroughly (keep the stock water for sauce). Halve along the vein side. Set aside.
Thoroughly wash all the vegetables. Set aside.
Cook rice vermicelli per package instructions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
Assemble the rolls: First wet the rice paper lightly (with hot water). On one end of the rice paper, add a bed of noodles, then an assortment of greens, then pork (2-3 slices). Towards the other end of the rice paper, lay out the shrimp (2 slices). Start rolling up the noodle end, tightly tucking in the filling as you roll up. Tuck in the sides when you are half-way through rolling. Continue to roll up the shrimp.
Saute garlic in oil until fragrant
Add hoisin sauce, peanut butter and water from pork belly, stir well.
Bring to boil, and then immediately turn off the heat. Serve.
