Asian Style Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound ground chicken thighs or pork
  • 1/2 cup hoisin
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup fire roasted diced tomatoes (drained )
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 brioche buns
  • raw broccoli slaw (for garnish)
  • shredded Napa cabbage (for garnish)

Steps

  1. 1

    In a large skillet preheated to medium-high heat, add the clari ed butter, followed by the onion, garlic sauce, ginger, garlic clove, salt and pepper. Sauté the veggies, stirring often until they are softened, or about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Next, add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink, or for about 6 minutes. Then stir in the hoisin, soy sauce, tomatoes and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and then a simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

  3. 3

    Once the sauce is at your desired consistency, ladle some of the sloppy joe mixture on top of a brioche bun bottom. To give the sloppy joe some crunch, top it with raw broccoli slaw and/or Napa cabbage and top it with the remaining bun. Repeat the process until all the sloppy joes have been assembled!
