Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar; stir until combined and fragrant.
- Toss in fresh Thai basil leaves at the end to wilt gently from the heat.
- Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for about ten seconds until pliable but not too mushy. Lay it flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spoon about two tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the bottom third of each rice paper wrapper.
- Fold up the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides like wrapping a present, then roll it up tightly but gently.
- Repeat until all filling is used up, placing each completed roll seam-side down on a plate.
- In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter and lime juice until creamy.
- Arrange your rolls on a platter with the dipping sauce alongside. Enjoy!
