Name: Sloppy Joes with Kimchi Slaw
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 cup kimchi, chopped; 1/4 cup mayonnaise; 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided; 1/2 cup ketchup; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil; 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 pound 85 percent lean ground beef; 4 hamburger buns

Why This Recipe Works

Using store-bought kimchi was a quick and easy way to add both bold flavor and crunch to a quick slaw.

Before You Begin

One cup of coleslaw mix plus 1 tablespoon of sriracha can be substituted for the kimchi.

Instructions

Combine kimchi, mayonnaise, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in bowl; set aside. In second bowl, whisk ketchup, soy sauce, oil, sugar, and garlic until smooth.

Cook beef and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in ketchup mixture and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

Divide beef mixture and kimchi mixture among bun bottoms. Cover with bun tops and serve.
