Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Pickle the radishes and carrots
- Thinly slice the radishes.
In a medium bowl, combine the radishes, carrots, and Asian quick-pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the cabbage and zucchini
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
- Lay the zucchini flat. Trim and discard the round end. Holding the stem end secure, using a peeler, shave the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage and zucchini with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
3
Prep and cook the ground meat
- Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the ground meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemongrass paste and cook until the meat is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the cabbage and zucchini ribbons to individual bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled vegetables from the brine and add as many as you like. Drizzle the salad with some of the pickle brine and top with the ground meat. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve any remaining pickled vegetables on the side.
