INGREDIENTS

• red or white onion
• seasoned rice vinegar
  
  
• 1 pound Highland ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 green onions, sliced thinly
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, sliced thinly
• salt & pepper 
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp fish sauce (we know it smells vile, but makes things taste delish)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce (or more to taste)
  
  
• lettuce leaves (bibb or romaine, but good old iceberg does in a pinch)
• cooked rice (cold leftovers is just fine)
• snap peas, sliced
• fresh mint leaves

Preparation

Make a quick pickled onion by thinly slicing a white or red onion into a bowl and covering with seasoned rice vinegar. Don't skip this step - it brings the dish all together.

Brown ground beef in a skillet. Season with salt & pepper.

Add garlic, green onion and jalapeno and cook until soft. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar & sriracha sauce. Stir and simmer a few minutes.

Serve on beds of lettuce leaves & cooked rice. Garnish with sliced snap peas (or other thinly sliced raw vegetable), picked onions and fresh mint leaves.
