Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 8 small taco shells (or soft tortillas)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup daikon radish, julienned
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Pickled Veggies: In a small bowl, mix the carrots, daikon radish, cucumber, and jalapeño. In a separate bowl, combine rice vinegar and honey, stirring until the honey dissolves. Pour over the vegetables and let them sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

  • Prepare beef Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Cook beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, form the beef mixture into small patties (about 2 to 3 inches in diameter). Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
  • Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Mix until smooth. Adjust the heat level by adding more or less sriracha.
  • Assemble Tacos: Warm the taco shells in a skillet or microwave. Place a beef patty on each shell, top with pickled vegetables, and drizzle with sriracha mayo. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
