Asian Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb ground pork or ground beef
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbs soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tbs Brown Gravy Mix packed
- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup cabbage shredded
- 2 tbs mayonnaise
- lime juice from 1/2 a lime
- 2 tbs sesame seeds
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 4 sesame buns
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat sesame oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Sesame oil can burn quickly, so don't heat it for too long!) Add onions and cook until beginning to turn tender, about 4 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add ground pork, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add ketchup, hoisin, soy sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make sandwiches: Top the bottom half of each bun with sloppy joe mixture then sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Top with slaw and remaining bun halves.
