Categories     Sandwich     Pork     Sauté

Yield 6-8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium red onions
3 or 4 ribs celery
6 or 7 cloves garlic
2-inch piece ginger root
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 to 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce, such as Sambal Oelek
1/2 to 1 cup hoisin sauce
3/4 pound lean (93 percent) ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork
8 ounces fresh or canned no-salt-added Roma tomatoes (4 to 5 canned tomatoes or more as needed; see directions)
1 lime
Freshly ground black pepper
Lettuce leaves
4 hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat

Steps:

  • Cut the onions into 1/4-inch dice to yield at least 2 1/2 cups. Cut the celery into small dice to yield at least 1 cup. Mince the garlic (2 tablespoons) and ginger (1 tablespoon); this can be done together. Heat a large skillet (at least 12 inches) over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom; once the oil is hot, add the onions, celery, garlic, ginger and hot chili sauce (to taste), stirring to coat evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables have started to soften. Add the hoisin sauce (to taste) and cook for 1 minute, stirring, then add the beef and pork in pinches. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring often to break up the meat, until it is no longer pink. While the meat is cooking, coarsely chop the tomatoes, reserving their juices (the juices should yield at least 1/2 cup; if not, add more from the can or from another tomato as needed). Cut the lime in half horizontally. Shred some lettuce leaves for serving. Add the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet, then squeeze in the juice of the lime halves. Season with pepper to taste. Stir to combine; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Some of the liquid will evaporate. While the sloppy Joe mixture is cooking, split and toast the buns. Place a bottom half on each plate. When the mixture is ready, place a generous portion of sloppy Joe mixture on each bottom bun, then place lettuce on top. Add the bun tops; serve hot.

I'm not sure about the combination of flavors in these Sloppy Joes. I'll have to read the reviews before I decide whether to try them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Sloppy Joes were too dry. I think I needed to add more liquid.

These Sloppy Joes were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected.

The Asian Sloppy Joes were a bit too spicy for my kids. I'll have to tone down the heat next time.

These Sloppy Joes were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of hoisin sauce next time.

I'm not usually a fan of Sloppy Joes, but these Asian Sloppy Joes were really good. The flavors were really well-balanced.

These Sloppy Joes are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have rice in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I love the unique flavor of these Sloppy Joes. The hoisin sauce and rice vinegar give them a really nice tang.

These Asian Sloppy Joes were a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
