Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Persian cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 3/4 cup julienned daikon radish
- 2 scallions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 6 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese mustard
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 toasted brioche buns or potato rolls
Instructions
- Prepare cucumber daikon slaw. Combine sliced cucumber, julienned daikon, and chopped scallions in a large bowl.
- Whisk together apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and fish sauce in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Pour dressing over cucumber mixture, tossing to coat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, tossing after 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add ground beef and spread in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes or until the bottom of the beef starts to brown. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon into small chunks.
- Add chopped onion and garlic, stirring to combine. Continue to saute until vegetables soften, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add water, ketchup, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, Chinese mustard, and sesame oil, stirring until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the water evaporates, about 5-6 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Assemble sandwiches. Pile ground beef on the bottom of the buns. Toss the cucumber slaw once more and top beef with slaw. Finish with remaining buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding more gochujang or a spicy mayo to the sandwiches.
- Let the slaw sit longer for an even more flavorful blend.
