Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Sprinkle in chili flakes if desired. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in chopped Thai basil and scallions. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Soak rice paper wrappers in warm water for 5-8 seconds to soften. Lay flat on a clean surface.
  6. Place a portion of the beef mixture on the lower third of the wrapper. Fold and roll tightly to seal.
  7. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Store finished rolls on a damp plate.
  8. Serve cut in half with your favorite dipping sauce.
