Steps:
- Combine fish sauce, wine or sherry, 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, and cilantro leaves in a medium bowl. Add lobster; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large cooking pan over medium-high heat and swirl to coat pan. Add green tea and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add remaining ginger and saute another 30 seconds. Add lobster mixture; stir and toss until it heats through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Let cool, then mix in mango.
- Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip one of the wrappers in the water for 15 seconds, or until softened. Carefully transfer it to a dry work surface.
- Arrange 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in an even horizontal mound just below the center of the wrapper. Roll up the rice paper to form a tight cylinder, folding in the sides about halfway. Assemble the remaining spring rolls the same way.
- Cover finished rolls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying. Serve fresh rolls whole or cut in half, with Sweet-and-Sour Chili Sauce.

Steps:
- For the spring rolls: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli or rice noodles and cook according to the package directions, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
- For the ginger-peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, lime juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl and whisk together. Slowly add in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. (It should be thick but pourable.)
- To assemble the spring rolls: Pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse a sheet of rice paper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer the rice paper to a cutting board and gently spread out the edges, taking care not to tear them. On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a small handful of cooked noodles and a layer of bell pepper, cucumber, mango and a few leaves of basil and cilantro. Gently fold over once, then tuck in the edges and roll until the seam is sealed, like wrapping a burrito. (It's OK if the first one fails; it may take a few attempts to get used to rolling them up.)
- Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with a damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with ginger-peanut sauce.
