Salad

2 cups (160 g) thinly sliced red cabbage
2 cups (150 g) bean sprouts
1 carrot, thinly julienned
¼ cup (10 g) chopped cilantro
3 tbsp (45 ml) rice vinegar
2 tbsp (30 ml) toasted sesame oil (see note)
1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup

Sandwich

2 tsp cornstarch
½ cup (125 ml) chicken broth
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) hoisin sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) sambal oelek
1 clove garlic, chopped

Preparation

Salad

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Sandwich

In another bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the broth. Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sambal oelek and garlic. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet over high heat, brown the meat in the sesame oil, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with pepper.
Add the broth mixture. Bring to a boil and let simmer over low heat for about 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Spoon the meat into the buns. Top with the salad, drained if needed. Serve the remaining salad as a side.

Note

Toasted sesame oils can vary in flavour intensity. Adjust accordingly; you may only need 1 tbsp if yours is particularly fragrant.
