Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef Consider using lean ground turkey for a lower-fat option.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce Substitute with a mix of soy sauce and a hint of sugar if unavailable.
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots Can swap with shredded cucumbers for a fresh twist.
  • 1 cup Chopped Bell Peppers Any color works or use thinly sliced snap peas.
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Fresh mint can be used if basil is unavailable.
For Wrapping
  • 8 pieces Rice Paper Wrappers Ensure they are soaked properly to be pliable.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Shallow Dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, heat over medium heat for about 3 minutes before adding the lean ground beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and fully cooked. Add soy sauce and hoisin sauce, stirring well to combine. Continue cooking for another minute.
  2. Once the beef is cooked, stir in the shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly softened but still retain their crunch.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and soak a rice paper wrapper for about 15–20 seconds until it becomes pliable. Lay the wrapper flat on a clean surface.
  4. Place a few fresh basil leaves followed by a portion of the cooled beef mixture in the center of the soaked rice paper. Fold the sides over the filling and roll from the bottom upwards, creating a tight cylinder.
  5. Arrange your Thai Basil Beef Rolls on a serving platter, and serve them fresh with your choice of dipping sauce.
