Quick, easy, affordable, and tasty! The original recipe came from the Closet Cooking website. After giving it a test run and getting everyone's input, this improved version is a keeper. The sauce has been thinned a bit and the hoisin doubled. I think it would also be good with the addition of sliced water chestnuts and snow pea pods for crunch.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Prep the sauce by whisking together everything except the ground beef, green onions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Set the sauce aside.
2

If you're going to garnish with sesame seeds, toast them now. Over medium heat, in the large skillet you're going to cook the recipe in, toast a single layer of seeds. Keep a constant eye on them, tossing to evenly brown. They can burn easily and quickly, so don't leave unattended. They "pretty up" the dish, but don't really add to the flavor, so don't fret if you want to leave them out.
3

In your large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Add the sauce mixture and cook another minute or two while stirring. Remove from heat. Stir in toasted sesame oil and green onions.
4

Serve over jasmine rice garnished with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 10 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
