Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine or mirin, sake, or any rice wine
1 teaspoon granulated sugar or honey
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-3 green onions chopped, white and green parts separated
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups cooked rice for serving I used jasmine rice
Crushed red pepper flakes for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and baking soda and work the baking soda into the meat. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, cooking wine, sugar, and sesame oil.
After the meat has rested, brown it in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the white part of the green onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the hoisin sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
Spoon the mixture over the rice and top with the green part of the green onions. Serve with crushed red pepper flakes.
