Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Basil Beef Rolls
  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, mixing well for another 2 minutes.
  2. Toss in 1 cup of shredded carrots and 1 cup of chopped bell peppers into the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender yet still bright in color.
  3. Prepare a shallow dish of warm water. Submerge 1 rice paper wrapper for about 10-15 seconds or until pliable and soft.
  4. Place 2-3 fresh basil leaves in the center of the softened rice paper wrapper. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and vegetable mixture at the base of the wrapper, then carefully fold in the sides and roll it tightly.
  5. Arrange the Thai Basil Beef Rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately, pairing with your favorite dipping sauce.
