Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 stalks lemongrass, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 package rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 carrot, julienned
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, minced lemongrass, minced garlic, fish sauce, sugar, black pepper, and water.
- Cook the beef mixture in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until fully cooked. Drain any excess liquid. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare a shallow dish of warm water for dipping the rice paper.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper in the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a clean surface.
- Arrange a small amount of lettuce, mint, cilantro, and julienned carrot near one edge of the wrapper.
- Spoon a portion of the cooked beef mixture over the vegetables.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then tightly roll the wrapper away from you to seal the contents.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with a peanut dipping sauce or a nuoc cham style sauce.
- If rice paper tears, use a slightly wetter dip next time.
