Calories: 548kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces ground beef
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 4 sandwich buns or slider buns for smaller portions
- ¼ cup green onions chopped for garnish
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 16 ounces of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a meat chopper or wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked about 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat and place the cooked meat into a bowl. Set the hot skillet aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until combined. Then, add the sauce mixture back into the pan and begin to simmer the sauce over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon water and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until combined. Add the slurry to the warmed sauce mixture.
- Return the browned ground beef to the skillet with the sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Simmer for about 10 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Toast the sandwich buns until golden. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto each bun.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Toast buns: If you prefer, toast the sandwich buns until golden before serving.
- More texture: For added texture, you can include shredded carrots or cabbage.
- Add spice: You can increase the heat by adding an additional tablespoon of sriracha sauce to the sauce mixture.
