Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Basil Beef Rolls
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 pound of lean ground beef along with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned.
  2. Once the beef is cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded carrots and 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and quickly dip one rice paper wrapper for 10–15 seconds until pliable. Place on a clean surface.
  4. On the center of the rice paper, lay down a few fresh basil leaves and a spoonful of the beef and vegetable mixture. Roll tightly from the bottom.
  5. Repeat the rolling process with remaining ingredients, serving with your choice of dipping sauce.
