Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Once the beef is browned, stir in 1 cup of shredded carrots and 1 cup of chopped bell peppers. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
  3. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15–20 seconds until soft. Place it on a clean cutting board.
  4. On the softened rice paper, place about 2 tablespoons of the beef and vegetable mixture at the center, topped with a few fresh basil leaves. Roll the rice paper upwards tightly.
  5. Once all rolls are assembled, arrange them on a platter. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
