Asian-Inspired Sloppy Joes

Description

Serve on white or whole-wheat buns with wasabi slaw and pickles. I make them on the drier side so they are not impossible to eat – tweak the recipe to make them as ‘sloppy’ as you like!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer stalks removed, inner stalks thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) package shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons wasabi-flavored mayonnaise (such as Trader Joe’s®)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
