How to Make Asian Sloppy Joes

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until onions are softened and lightly browned.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color). Sauté for 3 minutes more.
  4. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes, or until no longer pink.
  5. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
  6. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Add 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Simmer uncovered for at least 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thin, whisk 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch or flour mixed with 2 tablespoons of water into the sauce and cook until thickened.
  9. Serve the Asian Sloppy Joes over white rice and alongside your favorite steamed vegetables.
