1
Cook the Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
2
Add Vegetables and Seasoning
Add the grated carrot, minced garlic, chopped basil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3
Fill the Wrapper
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.
4
Roll the Egg Roll
Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll away from you to form a tight cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water.

5
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
