Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chopped fresh Thai basil leaves. Mix until well incorporated.
  2. Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the corner, fold the corner over the filling, tuck it in tightly, fold in the sides and continue rolling until sealed.
  3. In a large frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully place the assembled rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the rolls from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
