Description
Bright and savory Thai Basil Beef Rolls filled with glossy beef, crunchy vegetables, and fresh basil, wrapped in rice paper for a light, portable treat.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 cup shredded carrots (matchstick or grated)
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves (Thai or sweet basil)
- 8 sheets rice paper wrappers
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the soy sauce and hoisin; cook for another 1–2 minutes until the mixture looks glossy.
- Transfer the beef to a bowl to cool slightly.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water and submerge a rice paper sheet for 10–15 seconds until softened.
- Lay the wrapper flat and place 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center, topped with carrots, bell peppers, and basil. Fold the sides over and roll tightly.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
Enjoy fresh for the best texture. They travel well but should be eaten within 24 hours for best quality.
