Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and minced garlic. Cook while stirring for about 5-7 minutes, until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in soy sauce and chili flakes and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Bring a shallow dish of warm water to your workstation. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable. Remove and lay flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- On the center of the softened rice paper, place a fresh Thai basil leaf followed by a spoonful of the seasoned beef filling and any vegetables. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly, tucking in the edges.
- Arrange the assembled rolls on a serving platter. Pair with a dipping sauce like spicy mayo or homemade peanut sauce.

Notes
Keep rice paper wrappers damp while assembling to avoid tearing and overfilling to maintain structure. Use fresh Thai basil for best flavor.
