Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef Substitution: Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a leaner option.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Note: Low-sodium soy sauce can be used for a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce Substitution: BBQ sauce may work in a pinch but will alter flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots Note: Finely julienned vegetables like zucchini could replace carrots.
  • 1 cup Chopped Bell Peppers Substitution: Any sweet pepper variety can be used; add jalapeños for spice.
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Note: While substituting, consider mint for a fresh twist, but it will change the flavor profile.
For the Wrapping
  • 10 pieces Rice Paper Wrappers Note: Do not over-soak in water as they become too fragile.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Shallow dish
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned.
  2. Stir in the shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper for about 10-15 seconds until pliable.
  4. Lay the soaked rice paper flat, add fresh basil leaves, then a quarter cup of the beef mixture down the center.
  5. Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards and roll tightly from the edge closest to you.
  6. Arrange the rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
