Instructions

  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions. Once done, stir in the butter and set aside.
  2. While the rice cooks, thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
  3. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  4. Add the coleslaw mix and the white parts of the scallions to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet soy glaze and hoisin sauce. Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage mixture. Stir to coat and cook for 1 minute until heated through.
  6. Serve the hoisin beef and cabbage over the buttery jasmine rice. Garnish with the green scallion tops and drizzle with sriracha to taste.

Recipe Tips

For extra heat, add more sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the beef.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir into the skillet before serving.

Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.

FAQ

Can I use regular soy sauce instead of sweet soy glaze?

Sweet soy glaze is thicker and sweeter than regular soy sauce. If substituting, use 3 tablespoons soy sauce plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey.

What can I use instead of coleslaw mix?

Thinly shredded green cabbage and a handful of shredded carrots work perfectly.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
