  2. Mix together all ingredients for Hoisin dipping sauce EXCEPT chopped peanuts in a small saucepan.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer for five minutes.
  4. Cool Hoisin dipping sauce to room temperature, garnish with chopped peanuts, and set aside.
  5. Het oil in a large skillet, add asparagus and cook for one minute.
  6. Add water and cook, covered, for three minutes more; remove from heat.
  7. Note: crab is meant to be chilled and asparagus is meant to be cooled down to room temperature when building rolls.
  8. Fill a large bowl with warm water (deep enough to submerge a rice paper).
  9. Dip one rice paper at a time while building soft rolls, just till it becomes pliable; remove from water and blot on paper toweling.
  10. To build roll, on softened rice paper, place a lettuce leaf with margins on all sides (except top is ok).
  11. Top lettuce with one ounce of crab, one piece of asparagus, a couple of pinches of alfalfa sprouts and shredded carrots, a fresh basil leaf, and a couple of cilantro sprigs.
  12. Fold bottom edge of rice paper up over filling, then wrap right side over filling and roll up tightly into a bundle.
  13. Place on serving platter covered with a damp paper towel while preparing remaining rolls.
  14. Serve at once with dipping sauces and hot chile paste (sambal oelek), if desired.
