Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add lean ground beef and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned. Pour in soy sauce and hoisin sauce, stirring for another 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers to the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper for 10-15 seconds until soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
