Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add lean ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Stir in soy sauce and hoisin sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  2. Add Vegetables: Fold in the shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers into the beef mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
  3. Prepare Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for 10-15 seconds until pliable. Lay it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Place fresh basil leaves in the center of the rice paper wrapper, add a spoonful of the beef and vegetable mixture.
  5. Roll Tightly: Start rolling the rice paper from the bottom edge, tucking it over the filling snugly, and fold in the sides.
  6. Repeat the Process: Continue assembling remaining wrappers and filling. Ensure each roll is tightly packed.
  7. Serve Fresh: Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
