3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 carrot (shredded)
To serve:
romaine lettuce leaves
green onions
Instructions:
To cook frozen turkey or beef
Remove frozen ground meat from packaging (running under warm water can help loosen it).
Place 1 cup of water into a 6 quart Instant Pot (1 1/2 cups for 8 quart). Place trivet over water and frozen meat on the trivet.
Set the valve to 'sealing', and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.
When the Instant Pot beeps, do a quick pressure release and carefully remove the trivet + meat from the Instant Pot. *It will only be partly cooked through at this point*
Carefully dump the liquid from the Instant Pot, and add the ground meat to the Instant Pot with the garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Select 'saute' and cook, breaking the meat up with a spatula, for 3-5 minutes, until meat is fully cooked through.
Stir in the carrots and serve.
To cook thawed turkey or beef:
Add the ground meat to an Instant Pot with the garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Put the lid on, set the valve to 'sealing', and pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. When the Instant Pot beeps, do a quick pressure release, and remove the lid.
Select 'saute' and simmer, breaking the meat up with a spatula, until the sauce has reduced and meat is cooked through (3-5 minutes). It should not be too liquidy, but this will depend on the type of ground meat you use.
Stir in the carrots and serve.
To serve:
Spoon filling into romaine lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with green onions.
Storage:
The filling may be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
