Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 10 grams Cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
Instructions
Peel and julienne the carrot. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions finely. Set aside the prepared vegetables.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce. Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper strips, and chopped green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften but maintain crunch. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Prepare the rice paper wraps by soaking one sheet at a time in warm water until just soft, about 15-20 seconds. Lay the softened rice paper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
Place a portion of the beef and vegetable filling on the lower third of the rice paper wrap. Add a few cilantro leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top of the filling.
To wrap, fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling completely, like a burrito or spring roll. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.
Serve immediately for the best texture, alongside a side of low sodium soy sauce or a homemade low-fat dipping sauce of your choice.
