Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 pound ground venison
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ cup diced white onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 8 ounces snap peas, washed
Instructions
- Heat the skillet and cook venison: Place sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the ground venison and cook, breaking up the meat as it browns until it becomes crispy and evenly cooked.
- Prepare and add the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, red pepper flakes, diced white onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour this sauce over the browned venison, stirring well to coat all the meat thoroughly.
- Simmer and reduce sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency, about 8 to 10 minutes. About 2 minutes before finishing, stir in the snap peas to maintain their crunch and vibrant color.
- Serve: Once the sauce is thickened and snap peas are tender-crisp, remove from heat. Serve the spicy Korean venison hot, ideally with white rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add some fresh chili slices.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness in the dish.
- Ground venison can be substituted with ground beef or turkey if desired.
- The snap peas can be replaced with snow peas or green beans for variation.
- Serve with steamed jasmine or basmati rice for a classic Korean-style meal.
