Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Basil Beef Rolls
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, stirring to combine. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned.
- Once the beef is cooked, lower the heat to medium and add 1 cup of shredded carrots and 1 cup of chopped bell peppers to the skillet. Stir for just 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain their crunch.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper in for about 10-15 seconds until flexible. Lay it flat on a clean surface or a damp towel.
- On the softened rice paper, place 2-3 fresh basil leaves in the center, followed by a generous scoop of the beef and vegetable mixture, about 2-3 tablespoons.
- Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly away from you, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.
- Arrange the freshly made Thai Basil Beef Rolls on a platter. These rolls are best served immediately for optimal texture. Pair them with your choice of dipping sauce for added flavor.
