Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Beef A rich source of protein; can substitute with chicken or turkey.
  • 1 cup Fresh Thai Basil Leaves Essential for authentic taste; mint can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Any color works; red or yellow enhances sweetness.
For Assembly
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce Adds umami flavor; consider tamari for gluten-free.
  • 8 pieces Rice Paper Wrappers Ensure they are fresh and pliable; lettuce leaves can be a low-carb alternative.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • shallow dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns.
  2. Stir in the soy sauce and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves.
  4. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip a rice paper wrapper for about 10–15 seconds.
  5. Position the softened rice paper on your work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the beef filling near the bottom edge of the wrapper.
  6. In the same skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, place the seam-side down rolls in the pan.
  7. Allow the Thai Basil Beef Rolls to cool for about a minute on a paper towel. Serve warm.
