Ingredients
Beef Filling
1 lb lean ground beef
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
Assembly
Fresh basil leaves
Rice paper wrappers
Instructions
Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it starts to brown.
Add Sauces: Stir in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce and continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the flavors are blended.
Cook Vegetables: Add the shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers to the beef mixture and cook for several minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Prepare Rice Paper: Soften each rice paper wrapper by dipping it briefly in warm water until pliable.
Assemble Rolls: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto the softened rice paper, add a few fresh basil leaves on top, then roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Serve: Serve the rolls immediately as a fresh appetizer or snack.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add some chopped chili or a dash of chili sauce to the beef mixture.
Use any color bell peppers for added sweetness and color contrast.
Make sure not to soak the rice paper wrappers for too long to avoid tearing.
Serve with a dipping sauce such as peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
To make this recipe gluten free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
