  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 cup Thai basil leaves, packed
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1 cup sliced bell peppers
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon fish sauce
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
– 8 rice paper wrappers
– Vegetable oil, for frying


Instructions

Creating Thai Basil Beef Rolls can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat a bit of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Cook the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in shredded carrots and sliced bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
4. Flavor the Filling: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Thai basil leaves.
5. Prepare Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens.
6. Roll the Filling: Lay the softened wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling near the bottom edge of the wrapper. Fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
7. Repeat: Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the rolls on a plate as you go.
8. Fry the Rolls: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
9. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the rolls from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible rolls effortlessly.
