Calories
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Lettuce cups bibb or butter lettuce
- carrots cut into matchsticks (optional)
- rice optional
- sriracha optional
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the meat is halfway done cooking, add the grated ginger, minced garlic and whites of the scallion to the pan and stir to incorporate.
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and the red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Once the ground beef mixture is fully cooked through, add the sauce to the pan and stir to coat evenly and incorporate all the flavors.
- Serve in the lettuce cups with the green chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds and matchstick carrots.
Notes
Note - you can make extra sauce to serve on the side. I would do 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and a dash of sriracha mixed together as a dipping sauce.
