Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Stir in soy sauce and hoisin sauce, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
  2. Stir in the shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers into the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper at a time for approximately 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable.
  4. Lay the moistened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a few fresh basil leaves in the center, followed by a portion of your beef and vegetable mixture.
  5. Starting at the bottom edge of the rice paper, fold it over the filling tightly while tucking the sides in as you roll.
  6. Place the completed rolls on a serving plate. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
