Asian-Style Ground Beef Tacos
If you're familiar with those tacos from "Hello Fresh" - these are similar with a few modifications + homemade tortillas.
Ingredients

- 12 taco sized tortillas
For the Cabbage
- 1/2 package Cabbage slaw
- 2 tsp Rice vinegar (sweet, tangy, seasoned Kikkoman brand)
- 1 tsp white sugar
Toppings
- French's crispy onions
- 1/4 cup mayo + 1 tbsp sriracha + 1 tsp water
- 1 small red onion (finely diced)
Soy Glaze for Beef
- 1/3 cup Low Sodium Kikkoman Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup Mirin
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 4 tbsp Evaporated Cane Sugar (any sugar works, like white sugar)
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
Cornstarch Slurry
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions

- Brown ground beef in pan over medium heat, season with salt and pepper, blot excess fat with paper towel and discard. Leave a little fat in the meat for mouthfeel.2 lb ground beef
- Lower heat to medium-low and pour soy glaze over beef, simmer ~3-5 minutes. Ensure well combined with beef.
- Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry then add to beef to thicken. This will make the beef look quite moist.1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp water
- Mix shredded cabbage with rice vinegar and sugar.1/2 package Cabbage slaw, 1 tsp white sugar, 2 tsp Rice vinegar
- Dice red onion.1 small red onion
- Warm tortillas briefly.
- Spread 1 tbsp of sriracha mayo on tortilla.
- Add beef, top with cabbage slaw, red onions, and crispy onions.
Notes
This will make enough for 12 tacos.
If you're making my homemade tortillas - they take ~45-60 minutes to make - add that to your prep time.
