Notes
Storage: Store leftover Thai Basil Beef Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, keep the rolls separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Reheating: To reheat, gently steam the rolls using a steamer basket for about 3-5 minutes or microwave them for 30-60 seconds, wrapped in a damp paper towel. Avoid direct heat to prevent the rice paper from becoming too tough.
Serving: Serve the rolls fresh with a side of dipping sauce, such as hoisin or a spicy chili sauce, for added flavor. Garnish with extra fresh basil or lime wedges for an appealing presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For added crunch and flavor, consider adding sliced avocado or shredded cabbage to the filling. Additionally, marinating the beef with soy sauce and lime juice for 15 minutes before cooking enhances the flavor profile.
